Richard Patterson has played England's most famous king at Scarborough for 10 years now, and he's been with the performing company even longer. A seasoned veteran of the Renaissance Faire circuit, Richard bears an uncanny resemblance to the actual king as portrayed in the famous Hans Holbein portrait which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Richard is married to Susan Rudolph (Grand Duchess Sabine von Wuerttemburg) and lives in Dallas. His hobbies include jousting, hunting and jello wrestling.
