Amazing technology has made the breaking news that infamous King Richard III has been found beneath a city parking lot in Leicester ENG. How is that for a breakthrough? The remains were unearthed in Sept. and extensive research over the last months has confirmed "beyond reasonable doubt" that it is indeed the deposed King.
Those not familiar with English history of the 15th century King: He was a villainous ruler during the era of the War of the Roses between the houses of York & Lancaster. He was corrupt and ruthless in his quest to cede power of the thrown. History tells us that he was hacked and put on display at his death and supposedly buried on the grounds of Greyfriar's Church or else tossed in the river. The confirmation of genetic tests and body scars now shows that he was left abandoned in a hollow grave with no adornment. History can now rest silently.
