Leicester Update 31.8.12

   Posted by: Dorothea Preis   in Greyfriars Dig, News

It has been established that the remains of walls, which have been found during the dig, are indeed from the medieval period.  The next step is to establish the alignment of these walls.  However, otherwise there is “Relatively little to report right now. Richard III still dead”, as the update from the University of Leicester puts it – short and precise.

We are hoping for more info tomorrow, as there will be a press briefing at 11.00 (UK time) today, which means 20.00 EST in Australia.

ITV has also an interesting article and video on the dig on their webpage.  Their remarks on Richard’s supposed deformities are particular welcome.

Richard III ‘still dead’ is a comment I would not expect from anyone of intelligence, especially if this person has an interest in Richard and in clearing his name and reputation.
I found it offensive.

As unfortunately Richard III was killed at Bosworth, he is not able to clear his name. I do not think, however, that the expression “still dead” was meant as an insult by the University of Leicester.
