He kept himself within his own lands and set out to acquire the loyalty of his people through favours and justice. The good reputation of his private life and public activities powerfully attracted the esteem of strangers. Such was his renown in warfare, that whenever a difficult and dangerous policy had to be undertaken, it would be entrusted to his direction and his generalship. By these arts, Richard acquired the favour of the people and avoided the jealousy of the queen, from whom he lived far separated." Peters, Elizabeth (2004) [1974]. The Murders of Richard III.

Although the king had been dead for more than a century by then, he was killed at Bosworth Field by the grandfather of the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth I.
