Richard III Museum.
"Richard III. was born at Fotheringhay, a castle belonging
to his father, the Duke of York, on Monday,
October 2, 1452. He was a military commander
before he was nineteen, usurped the throne when he was
thirty-one, and was killed at Bosworth at the age of thirty-
three. Precocious, therefore, he certainly was, and accustomed
from his early years to scenes of war and bloodshed.
How early he exhibited the fruits of their teaching in his own
conduct is a question rather difficult to answer. He left such
a reputation behind him that even his birth was said to have
proclaimed him a monster."
Extract from "History of the life and reign of Richard the Third" (Open Library)
Richard III museum is housed in Monk Bar, one of York's four Medieval Gatehouses.
