Buuxi weedha soo socota: Richard shaqsi ahaan mas'uul kama ahayn dhimashada xaaskiisa ninkeedii ugu horreeyay, Edward of Westminster (wiilka Henry VI), ama aabbaheed, Earl of Warwick (iyo "Henry VI, Qaybta 3aad") Richard looma soo bandhigin inuu mas'uul ka yahay dhimashada Warwick). Edward of Westminster iyo Warwick waxaa lagu dilay dagaaladii Tewkesbury iyo
Barnet, siday u kala horreeyaan. Richard, oo markaas ahaa siddeed iyo toban jir, wuxuu ka qayb qaatay labada dagaal, laakiin ma jiraan wax diiwaanada waqtigaas ah oo muujinaya inuu si toos ah ugu lug lahaa labada dhimasho. Ilo wareedka Shakespeare ma sheegaan in Richard uu ku lug lahaa dilka Henry VI, oo laga yaabo in lagu dilay amarkii Edward IV. Richard iyo xaaskiisa, Anne Neville, waxay is garanayeen muddo dheer ka hor inta aysan is guursan, iyagoo ku qaatay inta badan carruurnimadooda isla guriga. Xaaska Henry VI, Queen Margaret, laguma arki doono maxkamadda muddada uu daboolayo riwaayaddan; waxay noqotay maxbuuskii Edward IV waxayna ku noqotay Faransiiska 1475. Richard walaalkiis ka weyn, Clarence (George, Duke of Clarence), waxaa lagu dilay Edward IV khiyaano darteed sanadkii 1478, markii Richard uu ku sugnaa Waqooyiga England, halkaas oo uu ku sii noolaa ilaa Edward IV uu dhintay shan sano kadib.
