Archaeologists believe they have found skeleton of King Richard III - Telegraph

'ere, I thought he ended up chopped into little pieces.

Did someone go around & collect them all or what?

not according to the report

Little has ever been known about Richard III’s death, other than he died on the battlefield and was supposedly taken on horseback by his vanquisher, Henry Tudor, who later became King Henry VII.

I like the way Henry VII backdated his reign by a day so he could claim that everyone fighting for Richard III commited treason.

That does sound like a quest on Skyrim...

A Winter of discount tents, you say? Could be a sales winner.
