Has Richard III's Body Been Found?




 This is from The Telegraph website and the article has a video with it. I can just give you the link in the  former sentence. Anyway...


'Strong Evidence' Richard III's Body Has Been Found - With a Curved Spine

Archaeologist searching under a city centre car park for the lost grave of King Richard III have discovered human remains.

  A bit more on the subject from BBC :

" Archaeologists searching for the grave of Richard III have said 'strong circumstantial evidence' points to a skeleton being the lost king.

  The English King died in the battle of Bosworth in 1485.

  A dig under a council car park in Leicester has found remains with spinal abnormalities and a "cleaved-in  skull" that suggest it could be Richard III.

This one cracks me up, but I kind of get their point. They are, in their minds, honoring Richard III.
