Bollocks to the horse,.. you may need the 'Millenium-Falcon', in 'Hyper-Drive',... just to keep its arse in visual range!...

minds me of the old joke ...what do you call a thousand politic ions at the bottom of the sea......A good start

What do you call the bottom of the sea where the thousand politic ions are? Polluted

A bloke on our local news today said the reason why Richard has a curved spine is because it's been caused by spinning in his grave so much at the thought of being buried in Leicester.
He is an advocate for a burial in York by the way.

Why don't they just put him back where they dug him up and make it a reserved parking spot - for Richard III only. There, that solves the problem! You're welcome!

Question frojm my wife for local experts.
Considering that this was the King of England even if killed in battle, WHO left him there. Good guys to have on your side who probably did well while he was living, one arrow or axe or sword and they dump you and leg it.
Would the victor not have been better to keep the body?

[billyturnip]

Don, you've obviously not heard Ye olde Yorkist motto "T'kings dead.... run like ****".

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Don are you saying "to the victor goes the spoils?" Well I expect he was rather spoiled ....at least after a bit.

I just noticed that your question hasn't been answered and because of all jokes and whimsical humour I was not too sure if I understood correctly and that was a serious question. I thought I'd check that you (or your wife) really want some information. Ignore me if I didn't get it.

Richard was kept for a while as proof that he had indeed been killed in battle, Henry needed that evidence but after that he was interred in a place of honour and respect in grey friars abbey (he was actually popular up North). Unfortunately later (my guess Henry viii's time) the abbey was destroyed and everything under it was left and forgotten. That is until a woman from Scotland who leads a Richard iii group worked out where he was.
