What a place to end up. Couldn’t someone have driven the body to the cemetery? I’m sure he’d have been willing to give his kingdom for a hearse.

He should be buried in Westminster Abby like all the other kings of England, great and infamous. At least he inspired a great Shakespeare Play.

One look at that spine tells us why he was called “hump backed Dick.” Even the royals didn’t necessarily have it all that well back then.

King Richard:
A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!

Catesby:
Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.

King Richard:
Slave! I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die.

Richard The Third Act 5, scene 4, 7–10

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

“I’m sure he’d have been willing to give his kingdom for a hearse.”

For that you will be brought before the House Pun-American Activities Committee.

Any time I see a reassembled skeleton I start hearing xylophone music in my head.

It would be funny if the distant relative tries to establish a claim on the throne.

Buried under a parking lot? Sound like the the Jimmy Hoffa of his day.

500 years ago:

There goes the king.
How do you know he's the king?
He's the only one not covered in sh*t.

Today

There lies the king.
How do you klnow he's the king. He's covered in sh*t like everyone else
