Richard III - a reason to be discontent
- Feb. 4th, 2013 at 6:12 PM
Richard's remains were identified by forensic evidence including circumstances (including location, wounds, and the scoliosis of the spine), carbon dating and DNA testing, and the results were positively identified here. If you're interested in hearing more about the historical Richard III and his treatment at Shakespeare's hands, you can read a past post from Brush Up Your Shakespeare Month a few years back.

"It's not the easiest pitch in the world, to look for a king under a council car park."
Fascinating stuff. I liked seeing a waxwork recreation of his face. History, come to life.
Easier than proposing digging under an actual building, though.
Just found a picture online - his portrait, bearing the words "HIDE AND SEEK WORLD RECORD HOLDER" on it. Poor guy.
