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
