Here the article says that the scoliosis proves the hunchback description
was correct. Oy vey! However, there are more pics of the reconstruction than
I've seen before, and there's a link on the right to a story on a professor
of the Univ. of Leicester demonstrating from a couple samples of Richard's
own writing how he might have sounded when speaking. You can download the
MP3 file, although I'm not sure if it's possible to save it on your 'puter
or not.

Carol responds:

However, that "portrait" of Richard labeled c. 1480 (the year that Richard turned 28) is the one reproduced in David Hume's 1826 "History of England" (which takes a Shakespearean view of Richard), not, as implied, a contemporary portrait of Richard (who was still Duke of Gloucester in 1480). http://theplantagenets.com/520/richard-iii-portrait-gallery/

I wish these reporters would do their research! Haven't seen the other files yet. Going there now.
