Portrait of Richard III goes on public display for first time
There are many who believe Richard III has an undeservedly malignant reputation. For the historian David Starkey it is not malignant enough. He was a “murderous thug”, Starkey said on Tuesday as he unveiled a late 16th-century portrait of the king, which goes on public display from Wednesday for the first time. The portrait has been purchased from a private collection by Hever Castle in Kent to hang in its Long Gallery, filling a gap in its remarkable collection of royal historic portraits.
