His remains are currently undergoing study at the University of Leicester. Once they’ve concluded their studies, he will be reburied in a beautiful tomb in Leicester Cathedral. There is also a petition going around to have him buried in York. Richard’s home base was York.
There is a great book, a work of fiction, by Sharon Kay Penman about Richard III. She has also written about Empress Maude, Henry II, and Richard I. She is an excellent researcher and posits in her book that Lord Bolingbrook? Burlington, maybe? Was responsible for the nephews demise
In the 1600’s, some refurbishing of the tower found two skeletons of boys. We don’t know if they are the nephews. I love British history!
Will it be a type of official or state funeral, military honors, etc.?
