[MR] BBC: More Richard III -- It Gets Better!

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

The tour guide seems mightily confused to me, as the 'church' in York is an archbishopric and if anything should have precedence over all churches in its see. But admittedly I remember very little about the post-reformation organizational structure of the Anglican church. Even so...I can't imagine why a northern cathedral wouldn't bow to the archbishop of York.

Of course, I also can't understand why the family (ie, the Queen, who is Richard's however many times removed niece) doesn't get the final say. :-)

M'Lady Cairistiona, Greetings.

You lucky lady! Ah, what I would give to visit England again this year.

Thank you for the interesting tidbit. I am in little doubt that Leicester will prevail in this controversy, at least as things stand. After all, possession is nine points of the law, as they say. But with politicians and (potentially) barristers involved, who can say how this whole thing will end? What a case for my hero Horace Rumpole to argue!

Yours Aye,

Hi Garth,

I was at Westminister last week and while touring the church, I asked one of the staff about Richard III.  His comments were that Richard would not be buried in York as he would have liked.  The Church in Leicester actually "owns" or "runs the Church in York", so they will out vote any concerns or claims that the church in York has.  He also commented that this find will provide a much needed finanical boost for the church in Leicester which is in need of costly repairs.
