After years of civil unrest between the royal Houses of York and Lancaster, the Yorkist Edward IV (Patrick Stewart) is undisputed king. His brother Richard (Norman Rodway), plots to seize the throne for himself, removing anybody in his path. Richard decides he needs a wife and sets out to woo Lady Anne (Helen Mirren), widow of Henry VI's heir. Against all the odds he wins her and celebrates by having his brother Clarence (Terrence Hardiman) covertly killed in the Tower. On hearing of Clarence's death, Edward IV is taken ill and dies.
