They have got someone that was descended from Richard's elder sister to give a DNA sample from Canada. I have watch this being reported on the telly, What are your thoughts on this.

Yeah the BBC are covering it, apparently the abbey has been found in the car park, whether it leads to Richard being located I doubt very much.

If Richard's bones are really under that carpark, then I think he's got a better deal than Morton whose grave split open and all his bones got stolen except for the head. Why anyone would want to steal his bones is beyond me since he's not a saint like Thomas More or Margaret Pole.

I happen to know the person that is in charge of this dig at Leicester car park as far as I know they have not found anything yet. What I can not understand is how are they going to find the truth about what happened back then by digging the bones. Is it just to show that he did not have a hunch back?

I read in the online Los Angeles Times yesterday that if they find the bones, they are going to be interred in Leicester Cathedral. However, when I check the LA times today, the report has been updated and the info about Leicester Cathedral is no longer there.
