“It would be funny if the distant relative tries to establish a claim on the throne.”
He has already passed on that option. Wise.

If they’re hiding royalty under parking lots, no telling where Jimmy Hoffa is.

Wonder if he was buried under the handicap spot?

For a guy with a deformity like that he was, by all accounts, quite a fighter. While Henry Tudor hung back in the rear, he was right up in the thick of it, which cost him his kingdom and his life.

Similar to the search for John Paul Jones’ body beneath the streets of Paris early in the 20th Century. Found him in a paved-over a cemetery.

After 500 years, they find King Richard III...and I can't find my car keys! :(

Mayor of Leicester says burial at the local cathedral next year. City has purchased property for a visitors center & museum. In other words, the remains of Richard III will become a tourist attraction. Believe the Richard III Society want him reburied at his home in York.
To: AngieGal
Odd they only found this body now. They had to build the parking area. Why not then?

Sic transit gloria mundi. Reminds me of a New York City Daily News headline from years back. Socialite Gloria Vanderbilt was ailing and headed to the City for treatment. Headline boomed "Sick Gloria in Transit".

The article mentions his wounds, including a pelvic injury which is assumed to have come from a post-mortem spear point to the rear end, which they refer to as a “humiliation wound”.

Too bad our modern Kings (or Presidents) no longer lead their armies into battle. We could have used Lyndon Johnson at the head of many a company that took terrible causalities going up some hill only to turn around and walk down the other side a couple of hours later.
Of course if the current CIC had been leading some combat troops in Afghanistan, we would already know if women should be in combat.

Beats looking up at the underside of an old MG or Mini..................... ...and having engine oil drip on your face for decades with no recourse.

The Mob. Clear signs. As we always suspected. Jimmie Hoffa in the foundations of a stadium, King Richard III under a parking lot.
