It's not often anyone takes a look at the remains of an English monarch; parasites probably were commonplace.
As often happens when I learn a little bit about some figure in English history, I am now wanting to learn more. In all honesty, my current perception of Richard III is mostly formed from Shakespeare’s treatment of him.
He was NOT a hunchback!!! That portrait of him with a hunchback was doctered later by Tudor stoolpigeons to make him appear so. There is NO WAY a Medieval Warrior King like Richard III - who fought his OWN battles unlike that toad Henry Tudor - could wear the armor of the day and ride a horse with a lance in combat if he was deformed.
The Tudors STINK. Offspring of Owen Tudor, a Welsh Gigolo.
