Did Richard III kill Henry VI?

Frequently Asked Questions
Shakespeare would have us believe that Richard III was also single-handedly responsible for the death of Henry VI.

The historical facts indicate otherwise. On Tuesday, May 21 1471, after winning the Battle of Tewkesbury, Edward IV triumphantly entered his capital city of London.

Why did JB kill Guardian?

Byrne Robotics: FAQ
JB: One of us is misremembering the period. I don't recall any "drive" for "real" death stories at the time I offed Mac.
