Pele,
My understanding is that there was no evidence that Richard had a deformed back, and that this was something cooked up in Tudor times and elaborated on by Shakespeare. I could be wrong.

Hi Steve

Have you read "The Lady of the Rivers" which is about Jacketta,
Elizabeth Woodville's Mother. I liked it better than "The White Queen".

I thought it very strange that in the three books I have read by
Philippa Gregory there is no mention of Richard III having a deformed
back. I understood this was fact.

But, as you say, there is a lot we do not know about that time.

I enjoyed the first episode on Sunday.

Pele
