Embargoed to 0001 Friday May 30 --- In this undated image issued Friday May 30, 2014, by Britain's University of Leicester, showing a series of images of a turning 3-Dimensional model, showing the kink in the spine of Britain's King Richard III, which has been created by scientists.  In new analysis of the medieval king’s skeleton released Friday May 30, 2014, scientists who carried out scans of the King's long fabled kinked spine found it had a "well balanced curve" that could have been concealed under clothes or armour, unlike the exaggerated hunchback which Shakespeare depicted as "deformed, unfinished, sent before time into this breathing world, scarce half made up". In reality scientist say his head and neck would have been straight, not tilted to one side, and there was also no evidence that he had a limp. (AP Photo / University of Leicester)
