You have to be one of the only people on earth to claim Richard III as your favorite king! He is almost universally loathed, although recent history has redeemed him somewhat.
There was a fan club for Richard, one member of whom was involved in finding the location of his burial and significantly featured in the documentary about that and the identification of his remains. The lady was deeply disappointed to find that Richard was indeed afflicted with scoliosis, so at least in that respect Shakespeare’s depiction of him as a “hunchback” was reasonably accurate. It was certainly in his interest under a Tudor queen to make the last House of York king look like a monster, but Richard and his family gave Bill plenty to work with.
Wrong! He has hundreds of thousands of, perhaps millions of people all over the world who revere his career as Duke of Gloucester and as king. No less than Derek Jacobi, Robert Hardy and Judi Dench have admired him for decades and worked to rehabilitate his name due to the problems created by Sir Thomas More. Two or three foundations are committed to rehabilitating his name. And he was revered by both Ireland and the North of England in his time. London, not so much, lol.
There is actually a club of folks who think Richard III was much maligned
I’d reckon Marmie who is a great contributor here is likely a member
