Richard III was without any doubt whatsoever the most evil man to have worn the crown of England. Attached to his name are so many crimes, and crimes so heinous and unnatural, that it is scarcely credible that such a monster could exist.
He not only committed murder on a number of occasions, but many of those he murdered he had either sworn to protect or should have been expected to defend with his last ounce of strength if he had anything approaching human feelings.
First on the list of crimes was the death of his sovereign, Henry VI. Granted that Henry had been deposed by Richard’s brother, and hence could not easily claim Richard’s loyalty The word heinous in line 4 means
A. awful
