@Kandy Kandy Historians are undecided on the deaths of the Princes. There is no proof that Edward V and Richard the Duke of York were murdered by Richard III. In fact, in written history from the period, the first mention of the death of the Princes comes from Henry Tudor one year after he wins the throne! Ask yourself, who had the most to gain? Even the confession of Sir James Tyrell, given in 1502, some years after Richard III's death does not state when and by whos orders. Histories written by the victor are normally very flawed and when the great storyteller Shakespeare got his teeth into a plot, the result was only for politic and entertainment! I for one would like to see DNA analysis and modern forensics carried out on the bones discovered in the Tower.

It was in the Tudors' interests to malign him. No-one knew he was ''hunch backed'' until his body was revealed for all to see after the Battle of Bosworth. He was a brave and noble king.

I've been to the exhibition in Leicester and the tomb at the Cathedral, it is wonderful. But what annoys me is that the University at the time didn't give two figs about the project or the Richard the third society's amazing hard work, it was just 'lets do it to keep them happy', but as soon as the uni found the king they took all the glory, even at the ceremony of his funeral. The made it all about how great they are and the society was a tiny little help on the side. Very annoying.

They also showed how the medieval type of saddle might have in fact helped support him, and that that likely was why he preferred to fight from horseback - which is a pretty amazing insight into textual records of him they would not have been able to make without finding his skeleton and finding a person with a similar body willing to undergo the experiments. (And I also love how this manner of experiment was also only possible thanks to decades of living history that mean we do have experts able to recreate medieval armour and saddles and fighting styles.)

Give the poor woman a break. Due to the scoliosis that twisted Richards back, his head wasn’t where she expected it to be, where ANYone would have expected. As the digger operator said, they didn’t know where anything was, and were digging blind. It’s a mercy they didn’t put the digger right through. The only reason they didn’t was because they suspected there might be bodies.

Exactly, if it wasn't for the work and persistence of Philippa Langley King Richard III's remains would have never been found at all! There is a new film called "The Lost King" released on the 7th of October 2022 that tells the extraordinary real-life story of amateur historian Philippa Langley's search for the lost remains of Richard III. Philippa was the driving force behind an excavation carried out in a car park in Leicester in 2012. Hence the University of Leicester Archaeological Services isn't happy about the depiction of their staff in the film, presumably because the film shows what arrogant buffoons the (ULAS) staff were.

By all accounts he died bravely, even Henry VII's historian noted that " "King Richard, alone, was killed fighting manfully in the thickest press of his enemies". I think it is safe to assume that if someone affiliated with his bitter rival was willing to record something as complimentary as that about the king's final moments, it meant that Richard III, despite his disabilities and frail physique, went out like a trooper, probably taking out several of the opposing force before becoming overwhelmed by superior numbers. Once he was unhorsed it was game over, surrounded by Welsh pikemen he would have been knocked to the ground. As his full plate harness, the finest available at the time, made him very difficult to wound, his helmet was ripped off allowing delivery of the blows which caused the horrific head injuries discovered by the archeologists.

After all by 1485 the legitimate Plantagenet possible successors had grown rather thin. Also what is to say that such an English King might not have been converted to protestantism in a way such as many of his German fellow sovereigns in the HRE became protestant converts.
