Re: Richard III's injuries and how he died.

What really worries me is that, the image created by Skakespeare was at best, artistic licence. The truth may well be far seperated from the fact. We need to remember that, in those days, it was quite common for relatives to be happy to either kill or arrenge the killing of a family member, battles ...

Re: Thieves target archaeology sites
