Richard III
King Richard III ruled over England for two years (1483-1485), but his reputation has been regarded as less than honorable as time has gone by. He was labeled a tyrant In Shakespeare’s play and in the end, he was replaced by the Tudors. In the 1485 Battle of Bosworth Field, Richard III courageously led a charge into Henry Tudor’s army. His clan’s quick defeat followed that move!

What Richard III Really Looked Like
It was only in 2012 when it became possible to recreate this image of Richard III since his body was lost after he died. In 2012, a team of researchers looked through clues which brought them to the underground parking lot where they found his body and exhumed it. Many members from Dundee University helped create this image that depicts what Richard might have looked like when he was alive. Since there are no realistic paintings of him, researchers needed to use historical records.
