This person probably did not exist. See the article talk page for discussion. Essentially it seems that the creator of this article, User:Lonewolfcg, made a lot of articles about people called Gardner, many of which have already been deleted. A now defunct web-page speculated that a soldier named William Gardner killed King Richard III AND that he was the same person who married Helen Tudor and became the father of cleric Stephen Gardiner. It seems that these are all different people and that there is no evidence whatever that any of them killed Richard III (or anyone else). This has become a minor case of "I read it on Wikipedia" syndrome, as some mainstream newspapers repeated the William Gardner tale after the recent discovery of the body said to be Richard's. An article in the journal The Ricardian (see article talk page) demonstrates that this William is a bloated conflation of multiple medieval Gardners. None of these are notable on their own.
