Noble Friends,

Well, the scientists haven't finished their DNA testing yet, but the 
controversy over who gets to rebury Richard III's body, if it indeed is 
his. York tried to lay claim to the remains, but in the end they will 
remain in Leicester. The British government has authorized a reburial in 
Leicester Cathedral instead of returning them to the car park under 
which they were found. Here's the story:

But the story gets more interesting. Archaeologists also found the 
skeleton of a woman in the their dig. To find out who she is, and how 
she came to be buried in Greyfriars Church, you will have to read this 
story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-20143463 .

Whew! This story continues to fascinate!

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
