On the birthday of this in/famous king, we delve into the myths about Richard III.

What was the real Richard like? What are the lessons we can draw from his tale?

What famous screen portrayals were based on his life as well as the Shakespeare version of him, and why are they different?

We also explore some random and silly, questions, like what book we would recommend him, and what film he would like. Somehow, we feel he would know a lot about parking...

Here's a link to one of our favourite books about Richard: https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Richard-III-Fact-and-Fiction-Paperback/p/15933/aid/1238
