2. Richard III (1483-1485)
Richard III is forever linked to the mysterious disappearance of his young nephews, the Princes in the Tower. His short, turbulent reign was marked by intrigue and bloodshed, ultimately culminating in his defeat and death at the Battle of Bosworth Field. To this day, Richard’s legacy provokes fierce debate, with some viewing him as a villain and others as a misunderstood ruler (via The Guardian).
