Richard stews in inner turmoil as Edward celebrates the Yorkist victory and George jockeys for position. When the question of the captive Henry's fate is raised, Richard is forced to make an irrevocable choice.
A thousand soldiers' blood
may pay for a throne,
Tausende von Männern mussten
mit ihrem Blut für den Thron bezahlen.
Pour gagner un trône,
Per avere il trono,
O sangue de mil soldados
pode pagar por um trono,
Платой за престол…
послужит кровь нескольких тысяч воинов.
