Richard III

[poliphilo]

They're scientists so they have to be careful not to leap to conclusions, but they've dug in the place where Richard was known to be buried and found the skeleton of a man with spinal curvature (which means one shoulder would have been higher than the other),  serious trauma to the skull and an arrow between the ribs; who else could it possibly be?

Redesmoor

With a gold ring round his helmet,
Fierce as a cornered hog,
The small man braved his enemies,
Unhorsed, down there in the bog,

Till William Gardner, commoner,

With knighthood on his mind,

And a damn big heavy poleaxe

Approached him from behind. 

Then all the saints and angels

To whom we used to pray

Came slithering out of heaven

Like trinkets from a tray.

I'm hoping they'll do a facial reconstruction.

Yes!
