• BBC News: Richard III site in Leicester to be excavated again (01.07.2013) – The digging and expected knowledge gain from it are more about the location of Greyfriar’s church itself and the coffin about 100 years older than King Richard’s grave, which was found but not excavated in the first dig, rather than finding out more about King Richard III. Still to know about the church, will probably allow more conclusions why and where exactly King Richard III was buried.
