Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Though this poem had many speculations like humpty dumpty was a drunken man who fell off the wall etc but, the one that stands out the most isabout a king, Richard III of England.

He died during a war and it was believed that he fell off a horse and that's when his enemies killed him.
