Undated photo made available by the University of Leicester, England, Monday Feb. 4 2013 of the skull found at the Grey Friars excavation in Leicester, potentially the long lost remains of England's King Richard III, ahead of an announcement about the identity of the skeleton found underneath a car park last September. Richard was immortalized in a play by Shakespeare as a hunchbacked usurper who left a trail of bodies—including those of his two young nephews, murdered in the Tower of London—on his way to the throne.

Well, it appears Shakespeare was right about that particular.
I wonder if he was right about the ‘other’ as well?.............

****Ibsen said he was “stunned” to discover he was related to the king—he is a 17th great-grand-nephew of Richard’s older sister. ****
He should immediately demand the Montbatten usurpers in England get off HIS THRONE! OR ELSE!

Now where to they bury him? Westminster—right next to Henry VII?
To: Red Badger
Yep, that’s him!
It seems even long ago, though, that he had better teeth
than most Englishman do today.
BTW, was the horse found?

To: Red Badger
he is a 17th great-grand-nephew of Richard's older sister. That makes him also a 17th great-grand-nephew, or a 17th great-grand-son of Richard, doesn't it?
