This was the most amazing story I have ever heard- The FIRST thing found, in the first trench dug on the first day was Richard! It's as though he wanted to be found, and had more to say... The facial reconstruction I saw in a documentary was especially touching. I'd always imagined Richard as the older, shrill, evil uncle of the princes in the tower, but he was only 32 when he died in battle, and suffered from negative propaganda in the Tudor era to bolster their own claims to the throne. In fact his behaviour before the disappearance of the princes was consistently loyal. I'm really intrigued by Richard now, enough to consider myself a "Ricardian". I'd recommend this read to anyone, thanks for posting!
