Richard III

This is just a neat archaeology story I wanted to share. Check out Alan Boyle's article on the skeleton discovered at Greyfriars last year. Results of the DNA studies have come back and, along with some good physical evidence (e.g. the poor fellow's horrific scoliosis), it seems to indicate that it is the skeleton of Richard III!
