After his death, Tudor propagandists continued to vilify him, depicting him as a brute and a murderer due to the rumour that he had ordered his two nephews executed – the ‘foul, hunch-backed ape’ of Shakespeare’s play. But the bones tell a different story. Richard charged into battle and went down fighting. As one account of the battle put it: ‘Slight in body and weak in strength ... to his last breath he held himself nobly’.
