ARISE, KING RICHARD THE THIRD!

   Posted by: Dorothea Preis   in Uncategorized

It’s official:  the human remains found in last year in Leicester are indeed those of King Richard III.  A dig was carried out in August/September 2012 in the area, where the Greyfriars Frairy used to be in Leicester.  In the process two sets of human remains were found:  a fully articulated male skeleton and a disarticulated female skeleton.

The male one showed many indications that it could be that of Richard III, who was killed at the battle of Bosworth in 1485.  During the last months it went an extensive array of tests and the results have just been announced.  More about this tomorrow.
