This is a fascinating article. I truly hope the bones of the much maligned King are laid to rest, and his reputation restored.

His reputation restored?

Isn’t this the same Richard III who usurped the young Edward VI and had him banished to the Tower of London, never to be seen again?

I don’t know if Richard’s reputation is maligned, but I know his brother John got the bad end for reputations.

I thought it was his brother John who had the curved spine

How do they now it's the Third Richard and not, say, the Fourth one, does he have a III tattooed on his skin?

His reputation restored? It is an undeniable fact that he illegally usurped his nephews, and the idea that it was Henry Tudor who had the princes’ murdered from France in a Royal fortress under Richard’s control is very far fetched revisionism.
Sure, Henry Tudor had some motive to have them murdered, but Richard III had more so and had much more opportunity.

Kings and Queens should all be laid to rest.
