Why was the Black Prince Villainous?
May as well call every leader of the time villainous then. Pointless really.

He has made out to be villainous, for Shakespear he was (but to me he is always the Lion of the North!). Richard III, no matter how he handled his reign went down in a blaze of glory. Perhaps so glorious that Henry the usurper(who proved his courage aswell) spent his whole life covering it up.
