The Richard III Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit educational organization that advocates the life and times of King Richard IlI, his contemporaries and era, and provides research and scholarship about the medieval period. The Richard III Foundation, Inc. was born out of the need for serious research and scholarship into this period of history commonly known as 'The Wars of the Roses". The reputation of King Richard III has suffered through Shakespeare's play that sometimes causes the uninstructed audience to believe that what is in the play is true history. In reality, the Yorkist period was one of progress and enlightened government. The mission statement of The Richard III Foundation, Inc. is to provide an educational journey into the life and times of King Richard III. By keeping Richard III's name dominant, we are educating the public and providing them with conclusive knowledge that enables them to look at historical facts.

Our aims and objectives are:
  To cultivate the life and times of the medieval period, with emphasis on King Richard III, his contemporaries and era.  
  To secure the advancement of education of the medieval period of the Wars of the Roses.  
  To enhance and promote scholastic studies of the Fifteenth Century.  
  To sponsor and encourage research, scholarships, medieval conferences and publications showcasing the Fifteenth Century, with particular emphasis on King Richard III, his contemporaries and era.  
       
     
 
     
     
 

The Richard III Society
Founded 1924

Patron:
HRH The Duke of Gloucester, KG GCVO

Richard III was King of England from 1483 to 1485. Thanks mainly to Shakespeare, he is known in the popular imagination as being the archetypal wicked uncle who murdered his way to the throne.

In the belief that many of the features of the traditional accounts are not supported by sufficient evidence, the purpose of the Richard III Society is to promote research into his life and times, and thereby secure a reassessment of his reputation and of his place in history.
