Richard III will finally rest in peace

After they positively identified the remains of the notorious and nefarious King Richard III of England, who was buried under a modern parking lot, apparently a few people thought that even the baddest of kings deserves royal treatment.  So their going to raise one million pounds sterling to give him a proper final resting place in Leicester Cathedral (even though one group has raised an objection).

I guess that's better than just leaving him in a museum, isn't it?

Richard III to be laid to rest

"The Dean of Leicester, The Very Rev David Monteith, said: 'We have listened carefully to the different views that were expressed.


'We want to create a really wonderful space in the cathedral for him and the many thousands of people we know will want to come to visit and pay their respects."

The article notes that Richard III was the last English king to die in battle.
