A most excellent presentation; I did not even know this Society existed until the body was unearthed. I find this movement incredibly interesting and intend on finding out more- thank you for sharing.
I’d love to know if Dr. Campbell has ever found any documentation from the royal armory about Edward IV or even Henry V or VI or their children. This would be very important evidence for the creation of this armor. I know there’s plenty of speculation that any of the records during Richard for three has been destroyed and it’s obvious in the rules and protocols and various sources. Just another thought about where to find information. It be interesting to see if there’s any evidence from the armories about Children’s armor because they started so early learning how to fight in armor.
I still need to know why despite almost overwhelming evidence supporter's of Richard still refuse to accept that he usurped the throne and murdered his nephews. He wasn't the next heir to the Crown if he was right in declaring Edward 4th children illigitimate. Surely his brothers Clarences children came before him.
It's on his right side; this is th side where we wear medals of our deceased friends who we fought with. Can you tell me why Dr Capwell is wearing this and what it is please? Very informative talk.
+Usammity Historiography marches on! Tudor era writers certainly exaggerated his condition, in order to make him appear more villainous. He wasn't really a hunchback, nor did he have a withered arm and legs of unequal size, as Shakespeare describes him. However, there was a kernel of truth in the story after all, as revealed by the find in Leicester.

And even more fortunate than Richard she had access to modern surgery to have it corrected, with rods; you can see the results on her back, she wore a revealing wedding dress to show off her surgical 'correction' perhaps to encourage the intolerant, like Tudor fans, to look in the mirror instead?
Dr. Capwell is an intense individual. I love his take on things.😎
I loved the Documentary Dr Toby Capwell did with Dominic Smee.
Thanks for these Ablas. Always interesting to hear your viewpoint. Nice to see your lovely environment too.

Superb lecture! Hats off to D. Capwell.
Very interesting lecture.
I wonder if the armour could have acted like modern sports splints and actually supported him as well.
Watch "Resurrecting Richard 111" on TH-cam.
'A New Richard III', thank You for share really interesting lecture

Nice pin. Is he a UK citizen?

@@elizabethdarley8646 It is the Arms of Richard III. They are available on he Richard III Society page
Richard could have brought his personal armorer from Italy who could have stayed in his service.

"This effects the left side..." (at 25 min.) should be "affects". Great talk; needed proofreading of text.
I thought richard III's hunchback was a result of tudor propaganda? At least, according to one of the BBC shows.

His shoulders were slightly mal-aligned. But you're right, he didn't actually hunch and we know he was a very capable warrior.
When they found his corpse, it had a significant spinal deformity.
It is discussed in detail in this wonderful presentation on the Richard III grave: /watch?v=dsTyGKKl8UA Short story is - he had a severe scoliosis.
