The Tragedy of King Richard the Third
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, plots his way to the crown through the deaths of his brother Clarence, the wooing of Lady Anne, the murder of the princes in the Tower and the use and discarding of Buckingham. On the eve of Bosworth the ghosts of his victims curse him in his sleep and bless his rival, and Richmond's victory begins the Tudor line as Henry VII.
