Richard III (1483 – 1485 AD)
Richard III came to power as protector and regent for the twelve-year-old King Edward V; Richard declared the boy’s mother’s marriage unlawful and thus invalidated Edwards’s and his brother’s claims to the throne. Parliament upheld Richard’s declaration of their illegitimacy and conferred the crown on him. However, the move was not popularly supported and there was immediate rebellion among nobles and commoners. The first revolt failed, but the second ended at Bosworth Field in August 1485 with Richard’s death at the hands of the Lancastrian forces led by Henry Tudor.
Richard died without a legitimate heir. He was the last member of the House of York to rule England, and the last claiming Plantagenet descent. His successor, Henry VII, strengthened his position by marrying the heiress, Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV.
