The King Nicknamed a Hunchback Monster for 500 Years

   / @houseofwondersyt   Shakespeare called him a "poisonous bunch-backed toad." Tudor propaganda branded him a monster before his body was even in the ground. In 2012, archaeologists dug up a skeleton under a parking lot in Leicester and found the truth: not a hunchback, but a king with scoliosis, a curved spine he carried through two years of real, contested rule and a final charge into battle at Bosworth Field. This is the true story of Richard III, and the five-century smear that outlived him. Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard... https://www.britannica.com/biography/...
