Did Richard III kill Henry VI?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do bad things happen? Accidents, death... does God kill?

F.A.Q.'s
The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. When the world was made it was perfect. God gave Adam authority over the earth, but Adam sinned and gave the authority to satan.

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. Rather, I did that particular story because I felt Mac was the least interesting of all the members of Alpha, but realized that from his death I could generate a whole flock of interesting subplots and arcs.
