Richard III
Between 1483 to 1485, King Richard III ruled England for only two years. On the other side, his reputation has only gotten worse with the passage of time. Shakespeare called him a tyrant in a play, and the Tudors eventually removed and replaced him. During the Battle of Bosworth Field, as the Tudor army approached him, he took the initiative and launched a charge. Unfortunately, he quickly bowed to defeat.

What Richard III Really Looked Like
This image of Richard III was successfully replicated in 2012. Following his death, his body went missing, but researchers were able to track it down to an underground parking garage in 2012, where it was located. They were able to find the body and exhume it. Dundee University researchers participated in the production of this image in order to see how he might have seemed in the past. Scholars had to rely on historical texts because there are no realistic paintings of him.
