Richard III
England’s King Richard III reigned for two years (between 1483 and 1485), and as time went by, his reputation became less than honorable. In Shakespeare’s play, he was labeled a tyrant. Richard III was also replaced by the Tudors in the end. In the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485), Richard III led a charge into the middle of Henry Tudor’s army but his clan’s was quickly defeated after that move!

What Richard III Really Looked Like
Before the year 2012, it was not possible to recreate this image since the body of Richard III was lost to history after he died. However, in 2012, researchers looked through clues that led them to an underground parking lot where his body was found and they exhumed it. Many researchers from Dundee University helped in creating this image of Richard III. As there isn’t any realistic painting of this king, researchers had to make use of historical records.
