The Princes in the Tower Describe symbolism in The Princes in the Tower by Alison Weir Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:03 Last updated by Jill W on 08 Aug 15:53
Richard's deformity is seen by some as a symbol of evil. It is unclear what he looked like as an adult, but Weir thinks he had a slight deformity that some did not notice, and that grew exaggerated in description over time.
