Abstract

le Roy, telling the story of the wild prince who made good, and borrows some lines from Richard II to fill in background; the formal ending of Henry VI: House of York is followed by Richard of Gloucester's sly promise of devilry to come as he steps forward to utter the opening lines of the sequel: Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer .. . ; and the transition to black comedy is boosted by a butler-like compere's introduction to the bewildering relationships among the aristocratic partygoers, who at the beginning of Richard III are still celebrating the restoration of peace and the birth of Edward IV's heir.
