  And with spinal deformities that might have made one shoulder higher than the other, leading to the exaggeration by his detractors that Richard was "hunchbacked". I've been following this story with interest. No one is really sure just how evil Richard III was, thanks to later Tudor propaganda.

  It is confirmed. DNA testing proves it is his majesty, killed in battle and dug a hasty grave into which he was more or less crammed (head forward over chest) and the churchyard eventually gone when it was burned down during reformation.
  Thus making his last words "A hearse, a hearse, my kingdom for a hearse..."

  In thy foul throat he liest.
  
  Is he at least buried under a handicapped spot?
  
  And are they absolutely sure it's not Richard III but someone who lost a fight over a spot?

  I was totally thrilled when I read about this. I love a good historic mystery. What a back story! The boys in the tower have been found, and now, Richard.

  The reports are saying it really is Richard III. Amazing.

  This is why I want to be cremated. Because I know in a 100 years or so, cemeteries will be paved over to make parking lots.

  I love it when a Plantagenet comes together.

  I think the facially reconstructed specimen looks like a butch lesbian with an overbite.

  I'm no maxillofacial surgeon, but I think you'll find he/she has an underbite.

  He actually does remind me of someone on RJ but I can't quite put my finger on it...

  One of the headlines in the UK was "Royal DNA found in car park" and i immediately thought it was something to do with Prince Harry...
