King Edward VI, his wife, and the others enter and Edward VI
begins to tell them that there is much hostility among them and that they
should forgive each other and restore peace among the family. They pretend to
like the other but after much encouragement made peace just as Richard enters. Edward
then speaks of peace to Richard to which he retorts with a speech about peace,
giving compliments and admiring the surrounding guest as well as apologizing. Elizabeth”A
holy day” she called it saying all is forgiven and peace is restored. They then
begin to talk about Clarence and releasing him from prison, Richard then announced
that Clarence is dead. This was a shock to everyone but Richard accused Elizabeth
of knowing. The king becomes more ill feeling guilty about the death of his
brother, blaming himself for the sad occurrence. Elizabeth tells them the truth
and they cry out of sadness.
The mother of all the brothers is now in the castle
comforting Clarence’s children about his death though them not knowing. They do
ask though as their grandmother refers to them as orphans but she still denies.
She grieves his death believing it was Richard who did it. She knows that he is
capable and is very evil. She and Elizabeth lament about the doings of evil
doings of Richard talking about the people he has killed. The duchess of York
wished she never gave birth to Richard.
King Edward suddenly dies and Elizabeth is advised that her son, the prince should come to lanchester because he would be the heir to the throne. Richard and Buckingham offer to escort Prince Edward. Three citizens are on the streets talking about King Edwards’s death. They share among each other saying that they don’t like Richard because he seems dangerous and deceptive and that he has a great thirst for power. Also, though one remains hopeful the citizens refute saying that Prince Edward is too young to rule. In the castle Richard and Buckingham plan comes to play as it is announced by a messenger that Elizabeth’s kinsmen have been arrested and imprisoned in a place people often are killed. Elizabeth seemingly about safety decides to leave and the duchess of York agrees to go with her
