Thanks for posting this!! I've been following the story for a while now and it truly is fascinating.

Love the part where they track the mitochondrial DNA back to a Canadian family

So that happens when you don't pay your parking ticket in England? Daannngggggggg.

I agree, I feel that DNA will help solve many mysteries of the past and a link to Canada is great =]

LOL

They now have a reconstruction of his face!

He's actually much better looking then I thought he would be. Guess I was influenced by all that Tudor propaganda

Amazing to see this, thanks for sharing :D

Oh! Richard III! And just when I was watching this video about him...

You should watch it, Richard looks sooooo cute there and so innocent =P

For those that are looking for a bit more fun & context associated with Richard III seemy post Elizabeth Woodville: A Queen of the May .

For some reason, I'm always intrigued by the female historical figuresmore than the men. Go figure!
