Noble Friends,

The work goes on in Leicester in the search for the remains of Richard 
III. The BBC has announced that the archaeologists have found a grave 
with human remains in the ruins of the Greyfriars church choir area. The 
bones have been sent to a DNA lab for comparison with samples taken from 
living descendents of Richard III. Burials in abbey churches were not 
uncommon, and the remains could be of local dignitaries, or the abbots, 
but then again they just might prove to be royal.

Here's the story:

but the live streaming press conference is not available.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
