Bumping the thread to give a final updates on the excavations.

King Richard III Found in 'Untidy Lozenge-Shaped Grave'

An academic paper on the archaeology of the Search for Richard III reveals for the first time specific details of the grave dug for King Richard III and discovered under a car park in Leicester.

July 28, 2013 — Archaeologists have unearthed a mysterious coffin-within-a-coffin near the final resting place of Richard III.

The University of Leicester team lifted the lid of a medieval stone coffin this week -- the final week of their second dig at the Grey Friars site, where the medieval king was discovered in September 2012.

This is the first fully intact stone coffin to be discovered in Leicester in controlled excavations -- and is believed to contain one of the friary's founders or a medieval monk.

Re: Richard III discovered?

Finding Richard how they did and proving the Tudor propaganda is false makes me think Perkin Warbeck really was Richard and Edward died of natural causes in the tower and not at the hands of Richard III. At that time having a living air meant a lot and Henry Tudor although having a claim to the throne was 6th in line at one point seeing every other heir die ( or maybe not in Richards case) in front of him

15 living descendants of Richard III have won the right to a judicial review into plans to bury him in Leicester. They want him buried in York Minster.

Re: Richard III discovered?

I personally think Richard has been seriously hard done by by history. I do not think the Princes died in the tower Edward I believe died of natural causes and Richard sent to France. I also agree he should be buried at York after all it was the betrayal of Leicester that lost him the crown anyway

Its a shame that the English Republic did not survive. Long live Oliver Cromwell.

Does seem strange that he should be left buried where he died instead of buried when he considered home.

Re: Richard III discovered?

Couldn't he just be bunged in a black bin and the Council called to dispose of him? Please do not use the green bin as we don't want to recycle him:D
