Intersting question about Richard III. Henry who replaced him and who backdated the date of his coronation to before the Battle of Bosworth lost no opportunity to blacken Richard's name but strangely enough never during his reign was it indicated that Richard was responsible for the murder of the princes. That came later with Thomas Moore and Shakespeare. If Richard was so bad why was it that the city of York mourned his death at Bosworth?
