How come you only picked on him - why not Bob Hope or Marion etc?

cos he did it fer a living.

Hitler , Stalin , Mussolini , Franco , Ghengis Khan , just to see if they were as bad as history paints them , like the old adage says 'the winnners write the history books' ,

would also like to meet a neanderthal/caveman just to see how much if any 'human intelligence' has progressed over the years

This is exactly the sort of thing I mean - all most people 'know' of Richard III is the Shakespeare propaganda written to please the monarch of the day.

Richard III
They lay the blame on you my brother,
But they don't know.
They don't know if it's true my brother,
But still the stories grow:
"He was an evil man!" "A tyrant king." "His heart was cold as stone."
But I could tell a different tale,
For I, yes I alone
Have love this man they live to hate
Who at Bosworth met his doom.
Whilst England cheered at Richard's fate
I cried upon his tomb.

They know him not all those who claim
That they knew this king so well.
But I who speak have loved him dear and fain my tale would tell.
"A bloody man!" "A murderer!" I hear the angry cry,
Whilst in Henry's reign lies Richard, slain.
So young a man to die.

When Lancaster 'gainst Yorkish fought
His swordsmanship was keenly sought.
His kingship late, was dearly bought
With death in blood and rain.
The once put-down Lancastrian crown
Then rose to rule again.

And they leave the blame with you my brother.
How can they tell
The thoughts that lay inside your head when at Bosworth's field you fell?
The "loyal followers of the crown" belong to Henry's army save
One who rejoices not this day, but mourns at Richard's grave.
