Dick Madness Round Four

We're down to the final eight contenders. This is a big week, too: we have come to the Richard II - Richard III showdown. This is like Duke versus North Carolina in college basketball. It's like Manchester United versus Manchester City in the English Premier League. It's like the US versus Russia in the Cold War. It's like ... a really big deal, basically.

Godspeed, monarchs, and may the most Dick king win.
