Then, the warrior-king Edward IV dies unexpectedly. His two young sons are consigned to the Tower by their uncle, who takes power as Richard III. When the princes vanish, the Yorkists start to turn on each other.
The Lancastrian cause, which seemed dead, starts to revive. An obscure Welsh exile, Henry Tudor, proclaims himself King of England and begins to assemble an army. Henry turns to the one man who can lead his army to victory against the battle-hardened Richard III. Oxford's time has come at last....
