How many were selected in farcical aquatic ceremonies?

A couple of fascinating books have been written on the 2012-13 discovery of Richard III’s burial site and identification and forensic examination of his remains. One of them is “Digging for Richard III.”

And King Arthur was buried in Avalon, which we now know is in New Jersey. Strangely, his tomb has never been discovered there...

Thanks. I’m looking forward to when the family names and first names are announced!:

“Archaeologists now suggest that 20 probable royal burial complexes each containing up to five graves (with a further 11 burial complexes under consideration) have been identified that appear to date from the fifth and sixth centuries AD.

During this period, the east and south of England was carved up into dozens of small kingdoms after the collapse of Roman Britain, ruled by Anglo-Saxon kings of fully or partially Germanic origin. In the west and the north, post-Roman royal dynasties emerged of mainly Celtic indigenous British or Irish-originating dynastic origins.

The study has been led by Professor Ken Dark of the University of Reading and Spain’s University of Navarra, proposing that sites identified in Wales, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset contain indigenous high-status royal burials associated with the British kingdoms of Gwynedd (north-west Wales), Dyfed (south-west Wales), Powys (central east Wales), Brycheiniog (modern Breckonshire) and Dumnonia (now south-west England).

I’m surprised that some so called French Loyalty wasn’t buried in these sites. My genealogy shows a lot of so called English royalty married so called French Loyalty. Many of which apparently died in what is now the UK and were buried there.

This is what my ancestry shows. Usually when a royal died that early, they were killed by relatives or non relatives.

You might get a kick out of this comedic song chronologizing all the English monarchs from William the Conqueror on.
