The Binge

RICHARD III of England has gotten a bum rap for 500 years. He was not a hideous hunchback with a withered arm. He did not murder King Henry VI and his heir. He did not contrive to have his brother George imprisoned, and then have him killed. He probably did have something to do with the disappearance of his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, but he did not poison his wife, Anne. In recent years historians have tried to rehabilitate Richard’s reputation. They may have the facts on their side, but good luck to them because they’re up against Shakespeare.
