"But say, my lord, it were not register'd, / Methinks the truth should live from age to age, /
as 'twere retail'd to all posterity, / even to the general all-ending day." (3.1.75 - 78). I don't think he really believed the rumor that Richard III killed his nephews. It almost seems like, through Prince Edward, Shakespeare is making a point to say that truth should be absolute and not ambiguous. I could be wrong.
