I guess one could say that Shakespeare did a fanfic of the actual history and twisted it to make a more popular story than the reality.

VERY cool about the report, though, and thanks for the link to the article. I've been hearing news of this from other sources, and it's nice to see.

Yeah, LOL, something like that. Though Shakespeare can't really be blamed for writing what's become a globally popular story. It's basically a case of, if you're fooled, more fool you...the truth never is the same as the story.

It's really weird, how Richard is seen in this country. He died 500 years ago, was king for 2 years...yet the debates over him never die, they're fresh and real as if he died yesterday. Now two cities are arguing over who should get to bury his remains. Though he was found in Leicester, he came from and loved York, and so they want to bury him too. It's really hard to put in words all of this - it just makes me so very happy that, at last, he's found.
