Richard III Suffered an Ignominious Burial, Researchers Find
An anonymous reader writes "Richard III may have been the King of England and the subject of a Shakespearean play, but even that couldn't keep him safe from ending up in a hastily-dug grave that ultimately became part of a parking lot, according to a new study published in the journal Antiquity."
FTA:
the late king’s body was reportedly stripped naked, despoiled and publicly displayed for three days before it was buried
. . . and someone was in a rush to get what was left of him underground . . . lest his remains doth starteth to again walk . . .

Another imbecile who doesn't understand that the word is often used metaphorically.
At least you've got the excuse that you're a dago.
Well, after reviewing the research one question still remains unanswered, did he at least get a good spot in the parking lot?

"It really would be news if we were to learn that Richard suffered from his burial. That would indicate that he was aware of his surroundings three days after he had clinically died. "

I imagine that after his burial, it would have been more like "A shovel, a shovel, Henry VII's kingdom for a shovel!" :-)
