4. The thing that struck me most forcefully

about the facial reconstruction was how much Richard did in fact resemble other members of his family, after 500 tears of being described as the "odd one out." (The dark one in a blond family, the short one in a tall family, etc.) It's harder to see in the surviving potrait of Edward because he'd gotten heavy by the time the original painting was done. But look at the portrait of Margaret as a young woman. The likeness is very strong.
