You thought with us, the battle of the towns now is over? – No, not yet, not really, not finally, it seems, now the Ministry of Justice rowed back and though tending to Leicester Cathedral, will officially decide when the laboratory results are definitive and can confirm the archaeological find as being King Richard III. The results are expected for about January or February 2013.
What else could we expect – it after all is one of the battles in the “Wars of the Roses” and those started and ebbed down and started again and were bitterly fought on all sides. And when you thought, all sides were at their wits end and finally in peace, new opponents turned up.
