No I don't. There is no substantial evidence that Richard 'did for the lads'.
History is written by the winners, more so in the 15th century.
Richmond won at Bosworth, became Henry Vl and his spin machine blackened Richards name. Tudor propagandists did a good job on Richard, even the best known picture of Richard was touched up to give him the 'Crook back' and as for Thomas Moore and Shakespeare well...

You surely mean Richard the Third (Richard III) not Richard the Hundred and eleventh??
