♛ King Richard ♛

King Richard III is plagued by rumours about all aspects of his life, his reputation, his reign, his behaviour towards his nephews, towards his wife, his brother, …
Now rumours start again:
 
Is it or is it not him, who was found under a car park in Leicester ?
 
Is the University of Leicester witholding information about him?
 
Certainly, King Richard III would have his joy, being the centre of attention again.
So, who am I to argue, when King Richard III gets top coverage in the media:
 

• The Huffington Post: Richard III ‘Grave’ Under Leicester Car Park May Not Hold Remains Of Fifteenth Century Plantagenet King – Associated Press (15.12.2012)

 

• University of Leicester: Search for King Richard III: Statement from the University of Leicester, 15 December 2012 – Statement, disclaiming the news in The Telegraph of the same date (15.12.2012)

 

• BBC News Leicester: Richard III dig: Tests on bones continue – The best overview of the state of research and outlook of possible handling of results in the current discussion, with input from Richard Taylor from the University of Leicester. (15.12.12)

 
I am curiously watching the developments and am enjoying this perfect advertisement and sign of high interest in ‘our’ king.
