The Paradox of Richard III

A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet may be true.
Here, I am looking at a paradox of a person who, during one period of his life, was so different from what he is reported to have become at another point. Where there two Richard, one a duke, another a king? Duke Jekyll and King Hyde? Did Richard have a split personality? Herein we examine Richard life and death and how, and if, he became what he was accused by the Tudors after his death.
