The War of the Roses

If Richard did order the murders of his nephews, he probably would have seen it as a necessary evil to protect the peace and stability in the country. There's also a very popular theory that the deaths were actually the work of Henry VII's powerful mother Margaret Beaufort. But we don't really have any actual evidence of this beyond a good story. No one could have predicted that Henry VII would have been the one to best Richard III and become king himself.
