Devon and Martha (and the rest of us) would be interested in the DNA results
for the Princes in the tower. Now they have positive identification for the
remains of Richard, I suspect they might well now look into that. It made
sense to go for the big one which they could easily justify. This

No you are definitely NOT alone in that desire. I've read a number of

Jane,
Hi All, I see no one mentioned Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. It's
a mystery story about Richard III and it says he did not kill the little
princes. I'll have to get it out, it's been a while since I read it.
Do you recall who she did blame?
Penman was very convincing with her

Hi David and All, Josephine Tey seems to blame Henry VII. The book also
mentions books by Buck in the seventeenth century, Horace Walpole in the
18th and Markham in the 19th century that claim Richard III didn't kill
the Little Princes!
Guess that's why I thought it was real!
Very interesting!
It's appeared on our news today that funding is now being sought to excavate
a grave in a Winchester church to see if it contains the remains of Alfred
the Great. He reigned from 871 to 899. They think there are five skulls and
other bones in the grave, but it will be even more difficult to
York Minster has written to the Queen to request that Richard III be
reburied in York Minster because he was crowned there. his son is buried
there and several other reasons, but permission was given to exhume the
skeleton at Leicester on the proviso that it was reburied in Leicester and
One of the major considerations is that all the proposed burial places are
Anglican, and Richard was a pre-reformation Catholic. Â Therein lies a

But Westminster Abbey was also Catholic prior to the Reformation, so where
is the problem?
From the website:
Westminster
Actually all old churches and cathedrals in the UK were Catholic in pre
Reformation days - and there are hundreds of them around. Basically (I
think) Anglican and the majority of Church of Scotland (Presbyterian)churches
were originally Catholic. The only ones you can assume weren't are
Yes, but Westminster Abbey isn't in the running.
Richard III was born in Yorkshire and funded building projects in York Minster
- which was, at the time, a very important church - and is the largest gothic
cathedral in northern Europe. Leicester Cathedral, on the other hand, though
medieval,
And, I think you can assume that most of them were built on sacred
springs that pre-dated Christian worship. Just sayin...
From what it says about Westminster Abbey, it was built by Henry III, who
was himself a Catholic and a Plantagenet! He's buried in Westminster Abbey.
So, I am still a
The problem is that the condition for granting the exhumation was that the
remains be buried in Leicester and by August 2013. Here at least you can't
just go around digging up bones no matter how old they are - there are
formalities that have to be gone through and permission has to be granted.
A. I really don't see why the reburial of ancient bones should be determined
by convenience to tourists and, as others have said, there are considerations
which are really important.
