…most classic moment on the battle field. "A horse, my kingdom for a horse!," shows that cowardice that Richard embodies. He cares nothing for his kingdom, or for his men, he cares only of his own prosperity. Instead of dying on the field with his men as any noble king would he tries sadly and desperately to escape the battle. I believe that is pin point exactly what Richard the third is, sad and desperate.
