Richard was the fourth son of Richard, Duke of York and Cecily Neville.
Richard persuaded parliament that Edward V was illegitimate and therefore not able to come to the throne.
Richard seized the throne, persuading Parliament that the marriage between Edward V's father and mother (King Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville) was not legal, because Edward IV had supposedly agreed to marry someone else.
RichardIII (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) was the King of England from 1483 until his death and the last king from the House of York.
Richard was born at Fotheringay Castle, the fourth son of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York (who had been a strong claimant to the throne of King Henry VI) and Cecily Neville.
A lasting mystery surrounding the accession of Richard was the disappearance and presumed death of Richard's nephews, known as the Princes in the Tower.
