[MR] It WAS Richard III

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Her Excellency, Baroness Sorcha, Greetings.

Very interesting story. Great video. Cool armor too! So far, the BBC has nothing on the story at this stage. I note that the research team still hasn't released the DNA and other lab test results, so we're really no further along than when the skeleton was found last fall.

The barbed arrow point mentioned on the video is intriguing. I would love to see this. If barbed, this suggests a type 16 point (the most commonly found war English war pile), though that type was generally not used against plate armor. Obviously, there is still much to learn here.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge

Archaeologists have confirmed the skeleton found under the car park is indeed Richard III, though they won't tell us all of why they believe so until some time this month:
