And he still has loyal supporters in Northern England.

I am not an expert on the subject but have been impressed with the doggedness of his defenders throughout several centuries. It says something good about British culture that the debate about Richard Ill is still ongoing.

And I am glad he is now buried in a manner fit for a Christian king.

Don’t forget the American friends of R3 who have contributed huge amounts of money to fund the search for his remains. I have a friend who has even embroidered his coat of arms for all the kneelers at Leicester Cathedral. She lives in Arizona. Of course, she like others, wishes that the King had been laid to rest in York Cathedral but the modern clergy don’t care a fig about history or Richard’s place in it. They know nothing of his history with Yorkshire.
