He may have had a curved spine, but he was strong enough to wield an axe from the back of a horse, and kill.

The curvature in the thoracic vertebrae is evident in the skeleton. Interesting.

On the female skeleton found with Richard III: “Dispute not with her: she is lunatic.”

After studying up on the Battle of Bosworth Field, it seems though the king may have been a real Richard, but no one could question his courage. He personally led a do-or-die charge with not much more than his household guard right at his opponents.

Well, it’s good to know that royal inbreeding for generations will have the benefit of one day assisting in the identification of your remains buried under a parking lot. /s

Sometimes being king is not so good..a bad back and a face full of asphalt at the end of a short life.

The New York Times had an excellent front-page story a few days ago--covered the mitochondrial DNA issue and the rest of the science, except for the bit about the tooth, and also gave a glimpse of the political animosities of the time. Continued inside the front section; a nice long story. They are excellent on this kind of thing.

It seems the reporter was one of those allowed to view the remains. He reports that they were reminded to view the skeleton with respect, as it was that of a king, and also that there was a man near the remains wearing the colors of a Roman Catholic priest.

If only all their stories could be as excellent and communism-free!
