Didn’t Elizabeth I have a crooked spine (scoliosis ?) too? Must have been a family thing.

Hello, pig. See you’re up to your classy self.

In fact, I’ve studied Richard the Third for 40 years as well as English medieval history.

Yes, I admire this king who brought bail to the common people of England, limited the power of the barons and nobility so that ordinary people had access to game and fish and helped to bring literacy to ordinary people through the printing press. Actually, the Plantagenets were brilliant, educated people and all helped to introduce literacy to the common man. Richard also insisted that all laws be written into English, not Latin, and posted within site of ordinary people so that they knew their rights.

As Lord of the North, he was a beloved figure. Once he was petitioned to take the throne, he upset the nobility and the corrupt court of Edward the Fourth by getting rid of most of them. In his entire reign, he executed four men. Compare that to the Tudors who murdered hundreds - women as well as men. The Plantagenets did not believe in killing women. It was against the chivalric code. The only woman Richard abused was Elizabeth Shore who was a traitor. He made her walk through London at night, carrying a taper. That was it. He then allowed the beautiful Liz to marry his lawyer - although he wasn’t particularly happy about that.

He died fighting among his enemies with great courage and fortitude, unhorsing the 6’4” bodyguard to Henry Tudor with a single blow. Considering how slight (gracile) and short he was, an amazing achievement.

Now why don’t you crawl back into your porno magazines and cheese doodles and leave people who actually pay attention to interesting subjects alone.
