Finding Richard

Just finished watching the Channel 4 documentary - Richard II The King in the Car Park. Fascinating story of the search for the remains of the King and how they found him in a Leicester car park.
Improbable though it may seem, sometimes some things are meant to happen.
Maybe now the history books will be re-written minus all of the Tudor propaganda - There is no, and never wan any evidence that Richard was a tyrant, or that he murdered his nephews. These stories were created by a family who had no legitimate cl\aim to the throne, and became 'fact' thanks to Shakespeare.

I have always maintained there are 3 sides to every story. The Tudor side, Richard's side and the truth which most likely will fall somewhere in between.

It's one of those things I will always remember - the day they announced they had found the last Plantaganent.

And remember if you still believe he was an evil villain - History is written by the victors - Richard's reputation never stood a chance against the world's greatest playwright
