I love this kind of thing...
I read this today. Imagine, finding Richard III after more than 500 years... and confirming what tradition (and Bill Shakespeare) have told us for centuries... that he was a hunchback.
I'd even go so far as to compare this with the finding of Tutankhamen... for the English. A king, killed in battle at the end of an important dynastic age, revered by as many as reviled him, lost to the ages after the destruction of the monasteries by Henry VIII, found again under a parking lot. If the DNA tests come back positive, we will see the first royal burial in England since 1951... for a king that has been dead more than half a millennia.
To think we could live to see the last Plantagenet king of England buried again... that's friggin' cool.
