Richard III

King Richard III was only the ruler of England for two years. However, his reputation has only gotten less honorable as more time goes by. Shakespeare branded him a tyrant in a play, and the Tudors replaced him in the end. During the Battle of Bosworth Field, he led a charge into the Tudor army. It was a quick defeat for him, unfortunately.

In 2012, they managed to recreate this Richard III photo. His body had been lost after his death, but researchers managed to track it down to an underground parking lot in 2012. They found the body and exhumed it. Dundee University researchers helped make this image to see what he would have looked like in the past. The researchers used historical records as there are no realistic paintings of him.
