Richard III

Feb 04, 2013 23:07

I was reading earlier how the remains they had found beneath a Leicester car park are now confirmed through DNA Testing and Carbon Dating to be King Richard III! How amazing is this? :D

This also means that the stories of his body being thrown into the Soar River were untrue. Also studies of the remains have shown that he was not a hunchback and that he did not have a withered arm either, as Shakespeare and others would have us believe, though he did suffer from scoliosis of the spine. :)

I'm really amazed and in awe of just how much they have discovered already. :D
