Who Was Richard III? - Busting the Mythology: 1. Was Richard a hunchback?

This series of short films has been made in celebration of the Richard III Society's centenary - our first 100 years of research into historical truths long hidden or disregarded. The Richard III Society is one of the oldest and largest historical societies in the world with an international membership stretching across six continents, from the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia to Australia and New Zealand. Using the most reliable records created in and around Richard's lifetime (as duke and king), these nine videos challenge the myths and legends that still surround Richard III to this day.
