Did King Richard III Really Murder His Own Nephews? | Fact Or Fiction | Timeline

The music is not loud enough! I can still hear parts of the documentary :( What's the point of releasing a music video with so much background noise ?!

I thought the music was going to wake richard

Would have been a good documentary - if it was n't for that idiotic background music

I AGREE WITH DAVID HENDERSON!!!!! What an educational, informative beautiful documentary that was 3/4 ruined by loud music, bird sounds, etc. drowning out Mr.Robinson!!! I was SO disappointed and aggravated!!! SHAME ON the producers on allowing this when it could have been a 5-STAR creation!!!!!!!

I can't hear anything but the loud music.

That music is so distracting. In parts I could hardly hear the narrator.

Many of these documentaries presented by Tony Robinson seem to suffer from miserable sound mixing.

Isn't background music supposed to be just that ?

No one: Absolutely no one: Producers: let’s add some funky music so that no one can hear what he says :D

If Richard killed Edwards sons, why did he not also kill George's son, whose claim to the throne was arguably stronger than his (Richards) - also, at the time of the alleged murder of the princes, the Constable of the Tower was Lord Stanley. No-one could have got to the boys without his knowledge. Stanley promised to fight for Richard at Bosworth, but in the event he reneged on that promise and stood off during the battle. Stanley was married to Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry Tudor, later Henry 7th - what a coincidence!

Very good but the music is kind of loud.

I’m guessing someone was having too much fun with his synthesizer? Wayyyyy to much 😂

Gave up on this as the crappy music was drowning the words. Whoever edited it ought to be made to listen to it on an endless loop!

Let's put Richard in some perspective. William the Conqueror depopulated Yorkshire. John, numerous murders, including his nephew Arthur, the true heir. Edward I, numerous slaughters in Wales and Scotland. Edward III, started Hundred Years War. Richard II, arbitrarily deprived Henry, Duke of Lancaster of his inheritance, sowing the seeds of his own deposition which would lay the foundations for the Wars of the Roses. Henry V, who re-kindled the Hundred Years War, leading to slaughters of French civilians. Edward IV, who would have numerous opponents put to death for treason, without trial, people who had never sworn fealty to him, staying true to Henry VI. He also had Henry VI bludgeoned to death in the Tower, soon after the battle of Tewksbury had seen the death of Henry's only son and the capture of his Queen. Henry never abdicated, or was 'tried' in any way. Murder was unnecessary. I am not a Ricardian. He was a ruthless man, who saw the boys lives as his death, by the Woodville faction, and who would seek to atone for his sins by funding an unprecedented number of chantries to placate his God, and by attempting some reforms. But, it was not enough to keep those who believed he had killed the boys from overthrowing him. Many of his older brother Edward IV's servants would seek vengeance by means of a relatively obscure exile. So, as tyrants go, there were certainly worse. I wouldn't put Henry VII in that category, unless you include the pecuniary measures, fines, suspended sentences. He disliked shedding blood unnecessarily: witness his mercy with Lambert Simnel, and, at first, with Perkin Warbeck, and, for quite a while, with Warwick. To secure the Spanish Marriage for Prince Arthur and the succession, he 'tried' Warbeck and Warwick for conspiracy and treason and put them to death. He, too, likely felt that it may have cursed his son, in the end. But the worst thing he did was to bring Henry VIII into being. There's your tyrant. Many thousands killed just in the case of The Pilgrimage Of Grace. If Richard had been victorious at Bosworth, he likely would have been seen as a ruthless but just ruler, who had come to the throne by unfortunate means. There certainly had been (and would be) much worse.

wtf I really wanted to enjoy this documentary but the loud music is overwhelming the narration, smh what an amateur production

The vocal and music tracks are way out of balance.

The sound is atrocious. It made following the documentary nearly impossible and, at times, uncomfortable.

This came just in time for my work break. Thank you!

ruined by the loud music

I’ve always loved Tony Robinson. Shame I can’t hear him though.
