Well, for idiotic claims, this one about takes the biscuit!

How on earth can the examination of Richard III’s centuries-old remains tell anyone he was a control freak? Or that he was friendly? Yes, a reconstruction from his skull has proved he was good-looking, but that’s not the same as “friendly”. Mind you, as medieval kings go, he probably was friendly (although perhaps not always laughing, as he is in the above illustration!) Certainly he had Henry VII knocked into the proverbial cocked hat, but as to the control freak bit….

Sorry, but this is going way too far, and smacks to me of the sort of stupid propoganda rubbish Tudor would have claimed about him…as would many a Tudorite historian as well. Harri Tudur and his creatures didn’t miss a trick, and the usurper would have given thanks on his bony knees to be able to say Richard was that kind of monster too.

I don’t know who, exactly, decided on this claim—scientists or press—but whoever it was, they were talking out of their freaky -rses!
