The scoliotic knight, the real Richard III.

The Arts Society Oakham Summer Lecture and Lunch

Step into the world of medieval kingship at The Arts Society Oakham's summer lecture and lunch The discovery of the grave of King Richard III in Leicester raised many fascinating new questions. The severe scoliosis exhibited by the skeleton revealed that the twisted physique of Shakespeare's 'Black Legend' was based in fact.

Toby Capwell is an independent scholar and leading authority on medieval and Renaissance arms and armour. Over the last thirty years he has worked with many of the world's great collections.

Note the earlier starting time of 10.30am. The lecture will be followed by lunch (£30 per member or £35 per guest to include the lecture). Please book via the website
