The Lost King

· ·

The BBC reports on England’s previously missing King Richard III:

Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch’s family.

Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: “Beyond reasonable doubt it’s Richard.”

Richard, killed in battle in 1485, will be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.

Bone samples indicated that his death was pretty violent - perhaps fitting given his reputation. Even more interesting is that his bones were found under a parking lot.

Maybe there’s hope for Jimmy Hoffa.
