Re, spinal deformity: Since the grave hole was too small for Richards body, and his body was laid in feet first and then folded a bit to fill the grave cavity and lay there for over 500 years&.well, might the extreme bend of his spine be accentuated by his taller body folded into the smaller grave hole? After 500 years of dirt pressure, how much un natural curvature was added to his spine, other than the normal distortion in his living body. Has this been addressed. Is this idea valid. it seems the extreme curvature would almost inhibit even a fit man, from wearing armor, fighting with heavy weapons, and riding a horse for many miles many days. Any thoughts on this? Carol D.

Carol T. responds:

Interesting idea, but I think that Jo Appleby would have mentioned it if that were the case. But since the bend is sideways, not front to back as in kyphosis, I doubt that it would have interfered with wearing armor. It just occurred to me that Richard might actually have felt comfortable in armor since it would work as a back brace. As Carol D. said, any thoughts?

Interesting point Carol but they also showed photos of his vertebra pointing out the inconsistent growth that lead to the scoliosis. One thing I did note was the fact when the bones were laid out the individual separation given to each vertebra was quite large which gives rise o an accumulative error, also one side of his rib cage appeared relatively normal while the other appeared distended and flattened.

On first sight Jo Appleby was saying it was a hunchback...Poor Philippa visibly shocked.
Very touching when they covered the box with the remains in to the van covered in Richard's colours Laters...Eileen

Jo Appleby's colleague...when the bones were laid out still uses the term hunchback...although he says that it would not have been noticeable....with the curve going sideways...I think he is using the term in a very general term...

Also the bones were of a feminine build...slight....Just amazing Richard fought so courageously and well...ooop back on.

I couldn't believe that Jo Appleby said that but her colleague has since - when asked - pointed out that "hunchback" is not a medical term and that when Richard was dressed, most people would probably notice almost nothing.
 
Of course the bloody anti-brigade will leap on this as proof that he is what Shakespare said.

I didnt imagine then Liz...but I thought it was the colleague used the term....its an unfortunate choice of words...It was clarified though that it may not have shown up when dressed. They did show a picture of someone with scolocis from behind which was quite twisted.

Richard would have had a high protein diet with lots of fish....

Thy are building the face up now...

Carol responds:

Nevertheless, that's extremely unfortunate as this program was supposed to present Richard favorably and accurately. No wonder Annette withdrew from it. It will be very hard to correct detractors who quote these "experts."

Carol responds:

Oh, my goodness! Tell your friend thank you! Oh, dear. Now the "ladies of a certain age in love with a dead man" is going to be true! For some of us, anyway. Those are incredible. I was expecting--well, that's much better than I was expecting.

Breathtaking photos. Thank you so much for posting them and to your
friend for capturing them. The pictures certainly disprove the myth of
how 'hideous' Richard was, don't they? Evidence shows he was not hideous
at all. Quite the opposite.

Linda...one very happy Ricardian today, even if filled with sorrow for
what was done to him

Facial reconstruction: Richard far handsomer than any of his portraits...

Philippa such a bag of nerves had to be supported when she entered the room to see the result of the reconstruction..

I look forward to everybody being able to see this programme so we can discuss....Eileen

All in all a very good programme..

Wow, he is handsome, and that is amazing. Interesting that the familiar painting is close to the reconstruction.

After 500 years of dirt pressure, how much un natural curvature was added to his spine, other than the normal distortion in his living body. Has this been addressed. Is this idea valid. it seems the extreme curvature would almost inhibit even a fit man, from wearing armor, fighting with heavy weapons, and riding a horse for many miles many days. Any thoughts on this? Carol D.

Carol responds:

I think she's talking about the National Portrait Gallery version, not the horrible distorted version that the Windsors own.

Here's the difference. NPG, which IMO makes him look about forty but still intelligent and sensitive despite the badly drawn mouth: http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portraitLarge/mw05304/King-Richard-III?LinkID=mp03765&role=sit&rNo=1

Royal Collection portrait (ghastly distortion painted for Henry VIII): http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/403436/richard-iii-1452-85

Unfortunately, subsequent monarchs, including the present queen, have no doubt thought of Richard as the mean-faced fifty-something man in the Royal Collection Portrait.

I agree with several other posters that there's a clear resemblance between the restoration and the NPG Portrait though they've removed the extra years and corrected the feeble mouth of the portrait.

As I mentioned earlier, the eyes in the restoration are actually blue, a detail from NPG, but you can't tell it in many of the screen caps.

I didn't catch any mention of the restoration on U.S. New programs this morning but may have missed it. The CBS and BBC America stories last night weren't bad but they focused only on the skeleton and its identification.

My daughter has scoliosis, her spine is twisted near the bottom on the x ray. You wouldn't be able to tell there was anything wrong dressed or undressed. The Consultant we saw said there was no need for an op and that she should do exercises everyday. She is very fit runs and takes part in London to Brighton bike rides So it hasn't held her back. When I was about 14 my one shoulder was higher than the other and the doctor said it was because I was carrying a heavy school satchel. Later on I was in some pain and went to see a consultant who didn't show me the xrays but said it was to do with my muscles pressing on the bones and I needed to do specific exercises. So I wonder if that was scoliosis too. I have not kept quite as fit as my daughter and sometimes my posture is very bad. The point being that if this is similar to Richard's scoliosis then the fact that he would have kept very fit all his life would have helped enormously and as someone said his armour probably would have helped to keep his spine straight. So maybe at times his posture was bad and the nasty Tudors used it to blacken his name.

Hi, Marie & Everyone –



I can just imagine how stunning it must have been for Philippa to see
“Richard as he really was” for the first time. I feel that we are all
fortunate to live to see this day – incredible, unbelievable. I pity those
who are scoffers, for whatever reason. They don’t “get it,” and they are the
poorer for that, I think. I feel blessed to be here and to be a proud
Ricardian.



Loyaulte me lie,

Johanne: can you imagine being a fan of Henry VII today? Their ferret-faced idol who encouraged his merceneries to mutilate and humiliate the body of an anointed king? Wow, how proud Mr. Starkey and Ms. Weir must feel today!

Me, I'm proud to be a Ricardian. Maire.

Hi, Maire.

Perhaps the most sad difference is that Mr. Starkey & Ms. Weir sincerely believe that, for his "crimes," Richard deserved to be mutilated and humiliated, while Henry VII knew very well that Richard did not.

Weds: If not for the beautiful reconstruction of Richard, I would be very sad today. The idea that my favorite king was mutilated and dumped into a shallow grave (with his poor hands tied together!) broke my heart. But thanks to your thoughtful posts, I came to see the reconstruction of his dear face as a tribute to his fine character and, perhaps, a happier life than I had imagined for him. May he rest in peace in God's arms. Maire.

Hi, Maire,

I'm glad I could help. It's hard being left behind, and even harder that we can't do anything to help what happened to him.

I really appreciate that he's very nearly smiling in the reconstruction. For me, it's comforting to think of him smiling and contented -- and in some ways, somewhere, being mischievous.

You know Doug I could swallow the George thing if it were unique. But look at the trail of misery that Edward's actions left - poor noble Montague who supposedly died wearing a Yorkist vest, the Desmonds, you could say all those who died at Barnet who were really having to fight for Warwick, not Lancaster. We get some of their names in the Coventry Leet Books. Then there was his own sister Margaret, who he left high and dry with only good old Hastings trying to help her from Calais (one reason I find the Hastings/villain story difficult to swallow). And of course the biggest casualty of all was his loyal little brother who died a horrible death on a battlefied as the last true defender of his House, whilst Edward died tucked up in bed. Sorry you can tell I don't like Edward, though I'd probably still swoon if I met him. H.
