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