Title
Richard III Museum : York
Description
Demonised by Shakespeare as a deformed, hunchbacked villain, King Richard is said to have committed numerous brutal murders. Chief among these is the callous murder of his two nephews, Edward Prince of Wales (the uncrowned Edward V), and Richard Duke of York, the so-called PRINCES IN THE TOWER.
It is for this crime, above all others, that History condemns Richard III. But did he do it? Or was he simply the innocent victim of Tudor propaganda?
The RICHARD III MUSEUM is housed in MONK BAR, one of York's four Medieval Gatehouses. The building has a strong Richard III connection, as Richard himself added its top storey in 1484, allegedly supervising its construction and paying for it out of his own money.
