Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

May have looked?

Um, there's no shortage of medieval portraits of King Richard III that he himself sat for.

I can't help but notice that their 'scientific reconstruction' even got his hat right. Curiously looks just like the hat from all his portraits.

Cousins ~ multiple cousins. These people are all part of a large extended family that modern genealogists and historians call “the family”

I believe Richard preceeded any Hapsborg genetics in the royal line. He was the last of the Plantagenets.

You don’t want to put too much faith in their accuracy. Artists tended to make fairly flattering images of people who could have them beheaded.

No, actually, there aren't. None of the pictures made in life have survived. All the portraits we have were painted many years after his death, and some were deliberately uglified to make him seem extra-conniving and evil.

What I find shocking is his deeply scoliotic spine. How crushed his internal organs must have been when the curvature was so deep.
