"The bloody dog is dead" - King Richard III's skeleton found

[MadBomber]

Wasn't this discovered a few months ago? I'm quite confused.

They found the bones back in September and did some tests and examinations. It was pretty likely they were his (they belonged to a male who was around 30 when he died, had a good diet high in protein, had scoliosis of the spine, and who definitely died from head trauma; they found some other stuff that suggested it was him as well)...

...but they didn't actually know for certain until now by testing DNA from the skeleton against DNA from a confirmed descendent of Richard III (in this case, one of his great-nephews living in Canada).

so nobody got excited over the fact that after mentioning they found him buried under a parking lot, they used the phrase "paving the way" to describe what he did

The Plantagenet's produced Kings good and bad, like any other dynasty. They do make for very interesting historical figures, I must say. Unlike those boring Capet's.
