When I saw the add for the Medieval /Dark Ages Contest I thought, what skin would be better to do than King Richard lll. They just recently discovered his remains from the 13th century. Here's a little background information on this English king:

King Richard lll is often thought of as a mean ruler. Although many people think that, some people don't. He was born October 2 1452. He was the king for only two years and archeologists have only recently recovered his body. People think the people of his kingdom didn't like him because they rebelled many times. Only two really were big though.

Hope you like my entry! :D
