Richard III was not Quasimodo

Today I'll just share some interesting info I've actually known for a while, Richard III, legendary villain of Shakespeare, did not actually have a hunchback. The portrait that has a hunchback has been found to have been painted over and there are no contemporary descriptions of him having one. Plus, as Henry VII was an usurper, it makes sense that he'd want Richard III to look as evil as possible. Shakespeare, who was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, the last of the Tudors, would understandably follow this interpretation. My source is an excellent documentary by Terry Jones. I know he's one of the Monty Python guys but this is an actual historical documentary. It's just more fun than the average kind. You can watch it for yourself below:
