Hunchback or not?

Watching an interview with an actor about to play R III at old Vic, he stated that R did NOT have spinal deformity. The find in Leicester clearly did and DNA testing was said to prove it R III.

Hi Diana - The remains reflect a degree of scoliosis.  This would not have resulted in a hunch back, though.
Here's an article with some more details:

Diana, there are so many on this site who have spent years reading, studying and publishing. This is an awesome group, and if you want to learn something, someone can enlighten the group. For me this has been a class on Richard III, the Wars of the Roses,
Medieval times, and so much more!
