Actually, Shakespeare is largely to blame for this, as he is with the villification of Macbeth. There is a distinct lack of evidence to show that Richard was a hunchback - he was probably as normal bodied as the next man (assuming that wasn't a certain bell-ringer...). And I quote the same site as reference - http://www.squidoo.com/richardiii/ Scroll down to Shakespeare's Richard III and read what Raymond Nighan, Ph.D has to say about Shakespeare's inaccuracies. Good play, though... Sep 17 07, 3:09 PM

Who was the Hunchback of Notre Dame? Who is the villain in Disney's 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'? What are the names of the three gargoyles in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"? Is there really a copyright law that means all Belgian houses must be slightly different? If so, has this had an effect on Belgian architecture?
