Saw it and took it further. It was interesting reading.
Sure looks like he killed his own nephews so he could be king.

I always find it amazing how some people will love anyone with power no matter how they got it.

I dont see this as much about loving people with power as it is finding the remains of a historical figure that has been under a parking lot. It was good and successful archaeological work and they actually brought it to fruition and found something of interest from a historical perspective.

Im impressed that the teeth were in such good shape!

How much money do we spend keeping the Constitution air conditioned in a vault proven to be nuke proof etc? That money didn't just vanish, some gov't contractor respent it within the economy.

He used Crest.
I'm not sure if your aware but tests show that people who use Crest have 98% fewer cavities than another leading brand
 
Very interesting and historical find. Strange how such a significant figure in history was found buried under a parking lot. I love history and find this story, and how they utilized DNA and other forensic tools to identify him and how he may have died.
Pity the biggest story in the U.S. press today is idiotic Super Bowl commercials.

Went to see this in an outdoor production several summers ago; now I am not an ignorant person, but I couldn't follow the wikipedia entry on Richard III, let alone the play....
