Richard the III has been found !

[Deleted]

Anyone else think of the scene from The League of Gentlemen? 'Richard I, I, I'.

Nope, All I can think about is the very first episode of Blackadder with Richard the thirds ghost.

Peter Cook played a brilliantly funny Richard III in that

A bloody historical time AND a historical bloody time

Probably not as bad as the Civil War though.

Which one? Plenty to choose from.

1642-51, King Charles I/ Charles II vs. the Parliamentarians.

First proper war with firearms and artillery I think, even if they were very primitive.

How about we stay on topic, please

[Redcinder]

Still yet I wonder; What is the significance of him being buried under a car park? Was it intentional? Was he put there by his enemies? Did they tell him he'd sleep under the the dripping oil of a Renault? WHO COULD HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN??

Not sure if serious.... ¬.¬ hmmmmm

Of course he is not serious. Renaults are French, at the time we were at war with them, we would never have brought their cars.

Richard Plantagenet (aka Richard III) was a great king (do not listen to the Tudor propaganda). It is good that he has been discoverd, now he can be interred with honour.

Richard Plantagenet, aka Richard I, AKA the Lionheart was a murdering bastard. However I do believe we are talking Richard III here. You seem to have mixed up your Richards.

Henry Tudor spent a good few years in Brittany (Brétagne) before crossing back over to England to take the throne that he had a very, very marginal claim to (from the illegitimate son of a daughter or something like that)

Ah yes, so i have, allow me to amend it. All kings were murdering bastards in those days.

Not ALL, some were too busy being murdered to do much murdering themselves.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Of course, Richard I "the Lionheart" did lead part of the Crusades, so technically he did do a lot of killing.

Cool part of British history right here. Odd noone in the thread has made a Shakespeare reference yet. That is really where alot of us Americans will recognize this guys name from.

You mean that play written to please Queen Elizabeth I, whose immediate ancestors invented a lot of the stories that maligned Richard III and labelled him a traitor?

Most Brits are aware that he was villainised unfairly, There was no evidence that he committed those atrocities at all.

I've read a few Skakespeare plays. My high school only required one each year. So I only know Romeo and Juliet, Midnight Summer Dream, Othello, and Hamlet.
