Edward and Richard were Edward IV's 2 leg. sons. This highly fictitional documentary is entertaining. The saddest part isthat Tudor was a usurper - barred from the throne by both RII and HIV on grounds of illegitamacy; his anscestors derived from the unmarried union between John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford - subsuquently legitramized under strict condition those descenents never claimed the throne. Perkin Warbeck was probably not Richard but it is interesting his face was beaten beyond recognition before hanging. So he must have looked like a king. However, losing the battle (Stoke) was his and his royal supporters failure.
