    Just heard that bones discovered under a car park have tested positive as being those of Richard III. What will they do with them given that he is generally suspected of murdering his 2 nephews in the Tower.

    perhaps use them as the basis for a nice stock?

    So one of the better royals?

    I suggest naming the car park after him at least.

    Cliff was Richard IV. Bones look similar though and they come frm the same era.

    I watched the documentary last night..it was deadly, glued to it I was. The forensic scientists were establishing the cause of death and his Bosworth battle injuries. Someone stabbed him in the top of the head with some sort of knife. Someone skimmed a slice off the top of his head with a sword or something, then someone axed him in the base of the skull, there was a loose piece flapping about, his brains would've been exposed. Then when he was hanging over a horse starkers, someone came along and stabbed him in the árse...swear to fcuk.

    I was amazed at them being able to make a dna match with a 17th generation descendant of his, think your man was thrilled with himself as well:).

    They did a proper reconstruction of his skull with some sort of computer programme and then clay on a cast of his skull. It was class, they had hair and eyes and a hat on it and all, very handsome chap he was. It was true about his crooked spine, with the scoliosis but his arms were normal tho' a little feminine as was his hip bone.
