Re: Richard III discovered?
Oh wow, one of the questions on the BBC news report:
"Why did they bury him under a car park?"
But the reply from another user, was pretty darned funny:
"It was very common in Richard's time for losers in Battle to be buried in Car parks
Dont forget cars were a symbol of power in those days"

Re: Richard III discovered?
So he didn't have a hunch and his arms were normal although effeminate so that blows the Tudor accounts and with how he was thought of in York I believe in stronger than before that he did not kill the princes . Very interesting documentary

Re: Richard III discovered?
Judging by the number of Honda adverts during the documentary it's hardly a surprise he was buried in a car park.

Yep.After all, if they nicked his clothes and left his bling they would be pretty stupid.

Re: Richard III discovered?
Initially, the skeleton was believed to be that of a leading politician, but this has since been ruled out after they found a spine.

Re: Richard III discovered?
No the spine was bent so it still could be a politician !

Re: Richard III discovered?
A spat has broken out over where he should be buried:

Personally, I think York...

Re: Richard III discovered?
I also think he should be re-interred in York, preferably under the choir within the Minster. I suspect the licence to dig up bones, which placed a deadline on re-interrment and specified as near to the original site as possible, was written out by some lackadaisical civil servant who didn't expect them to find anything of significance.

Re: Richard III discovered?
I think Madam Tussauds seems appropriate.

I disagree. he wasn't from York, his family wasn't from York, He simply held a (even in his time) ancient title from York.
He was born and spend most of his childhood in his ancestral home in Northamptonshire (the city at the time now tiny village of Fotheringhay). Which also is where most of his family are burred. IMO that would bee the most fitting place for burial (either that or Westminster abbey along with most past Kings of England).
