Richard III
Last Yorkist king who seized the throne from his nephew Edward V and ruled for only two years before being killed at Bosworth Field — the last English king to die in battle. A capable administrator who introduced legal reforms, his reputation was permanently blackened by Tudor propaganda, most notably Shakespeare's portrayal. His remains, discovered under a Leicester car park in 2012, showed scoliosis but not the severe deformity of legend.
