Richard PLANTEGENET
Richard Plantagenet was born with both male and female genitalia, making him intersex. He was also born with heterochromia, meaning that his eyes were different colors. Richard was raised as a boy, but he always felt like he was different. He didn't fit in with the other boys, and he often felt like he was on the outside looking in.
When Richard was 15 years old, he met Henry Bolingbroke, who would later become King Henry IV. Henry was immediately drawn to Richard, and the two of them became close friends. Henry saw Richard's potential, and he encouraged him to pursue a career in politics.
Richard eventually became King of England, but his reign was short-lived. He was overthrown by his cousin, Henry V, and he died in battle at the age of 32.
Richard's story is a tragic one, but it is also a story of hope. He was a complex and multifaceted character, and his story shows that it is possible to be different and still be successful.
