Alliance with France

But Hume does admit that Richard's alliance with France may have played a part--and this does not reflect well on Richard:

"[Glocester's] aversion to the French truce and alliance was public and avowed; and that court, which had now a great influence over the king, pushed him to provide for his own safety, by punishing the traiterous designs of his uncle."

So Richard murdered Gloucester at the urging of the king of France?!
