Richard III Part 1: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? | 23

Even The Royals

20-05-2024 • 44 mins

Richard III has gone down in history as the hunchback king who killed his own family for the throne, thanks to William Shakespeare. But Shakespeare got a lot wrong. The English king’s life was a lot more like Game of Thrones than Shakespeare’s play.  Like Ned Stark, Richard battles rumors and all kinds of backstabbing to protect his family’s throne. But the more he tries to hold on to power, the sharper the knives in his back become.  Even worse, the people who wield them aren’t just his enemies – they’re his friends.
