I just finished rereading
Alison Weir's great book
"The Wars of the Roses". Coincidentally, the article
Perimortem trauma in King Richard III: a skeletal analysis recently appeared in the journal
The Lancet. In 2012 a skeleton identified as
Richard III's was discovered in Leicester, England and
exhumed. I also recommend a
chilling 1995 film version of
Shakespeare's play starring
Ian McKellen set in an imaginary fascist 1930's Britain.
