He was buried in a church, which ended up being under a carpark now.

Didn't they build on top of old towns etc, after the plague or something? Or is that in the wrong time frame?

I don't think he was as bad as Shakespeare made him appear to be.

Here is Richard III telling Shakespeare what's what.

Yep Tudor propaganda to justify why they took the crown from the Plantagenets.

I have been waiting ever since they found the skeleton to find out if it was Richard 111.

Just imagine the thousands of ppl who have walked or parked over a King of England, and never knew it. It is fascinating and I am looking forward to the many documentaries that will be sure to made.

katymatey* that's not all that far off some of the portraits I've seen (not the one the used for comparision) except he seems younger, less worried maybe.

:^O at the Blackadder pic.

Why did they have to give him those eyebrows though. 😞

No tweezers?

I wonder what happened to his feet?

Re: Dick the Turd....exhumed?

flashie* — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:13:44 GMT

It is believed that his feet may have been destroyed when a toilet was built above his grave.:O....strange....but true.
