What a remarkable woman Philippa is and what a story.
If you saw this story in a film or drama on TV you would think it was implausible .....Definitely a case of fact being stranger than fiction
Gotta love a "Good news" story now and again...
The visitors centre is really interesting and well worth a visit.
None of this would have happened without the hard work and persistence of Phillipa Langley her love for Richard111 is easy to see , now she is working to clear the story of the Princes Edward and Richard , well done Phillipa 👏
She was deserving of all the acclaim after such an achievement.
Here's hoping she has equal success!
Yes it was fascinating !! Watched his whole removal and transportation and all the rest. Very exciting
Richard the third was a very brave man dying on the battlefield although he was a cripple the reports say he was still a great swordsman, what amazed me was the facial reconstruction the likeness to a portrait of him was uncanny, I love our history.
You should read about Richard's prowess in earlier battles in support of Edward lV. Given the pain he must have always suffered, his stamina was incredible.
He was not a cripple he had scoliosis a curvature of the spine
@@rosemaryallen2128 he was a true King not many King's stand on a battle field with the men, my cousin had an S shaped spine and it always gave her allot of pain, it fasinates me I will read more about him, I stayed for a week in middlem Yorkshire his castle was right behind my friends house, thank you, good luck. 🌹
Wow, the student's facial shine levels were on point! 🌞😎
Weren't they? Blindingly so!!
Please include the hard works and writings of the late Rhoda Edwards. A great woman who did a lot of the initial research
Am appalled at the ignorance displayed by some of these letters, does anyone read their medieval history anymore or are they too busy with their phones
Things aren't always what they seem to be, even then.
When the Cathedral re-opens the tomb is well worth a visit. Why not stay and be part of a service whilst you visit. Re opens Autumn this year.
I wonder why they didn’t bury Richard III in Westminster Abbey with other English monarchs instead of Leicester Cathedral. Amazing story of a lost king.
He wasn't considered a rightful King,but a usurper.
He was the loser in a Civil War.
@Neria Wolf I think they mean when he was found ten years ago.
@Neria Wolf The question is a little ambiguous, so I could be wrong and they did mean when he died. I'm sure that the last king to be buried there was one of the Georges, the II, I think in the 1760s, so that would be one reason why he was not buried there. There was a bit of a do about him not being buried in York as he was a Yorkist, Plantagenet.
They asked the late Queen about Westminster Abbey. She said no. Which is bad enough. But they also asked the then Archbishop of York, which is where Richard himself almost certainly wanted to be buried, and he said no. So they asked the Bishop of Leicester, and he grumbled about it. I expect he has changed his tune now the tourists have filled his collection boxes.
@@rosemaryallen2128 and there’s me thinking he was a minority, what with the curved spine an all….
And 9.99 years since some chancer speculated that he was black.
Only a black heart!
Also only a few weeks from now before that rumour resurfaces, LOL!
. . . As if the contemporary chroniclers would have overlooked such a detail while they were busy - like Shakespeare - 'blackening' his name !
@@helveticaification Satirre, it seems to be a concept you are unable to understand!
@@ronnietexan Oh, I don't know, a lot of 'truth' these days is indistinguishable from satire!
I remember it well, ten years ago! I'm an American fan of Medieval History, and was actually taking a class on the Middle Ages at the time! I would love to be able to visit this new center. 🇺🇸❤️🏴
Amazing story
@@shiTthebed86 how so?
@Neria Wolf believe this and you will believe anything.
Great film about the story ‘The lost King’ released in 2022. Plenty of informative trailers and featurettes here on TH-cam if you want to know more of this fascinating story and ‘rigting of a wrong’ in the ‘nick of time’!?
An amazing awesome true story. Our son lives in newbold verdun and we had the great opportunity to see king Richard's coffin go through the villages original road.a fantastic day .will never forget that wonderful atmosphere. Linda and john and chris Bellamy. 2023 February 4..
I'm shocked that Dr John Ashdown-Hill has not been mentioned.
Richard was born 1452 .
571 years ago is 20 generations.
20% of white English will be related to him.
Why did they bury him under a car park? I'd have thought Westminster Abbey would have been more respectful.
The car park was over the foundations of the religious building in which Richard was given a proper, though simple, burial by Henry Vll in 1483.
v8pilot - Idiot. It was a horse and cart park in those days.
@@rosemaryallen2128 Henry didn’t bury him he just gave him to the monks and said here you can have him after about two days that is of humiliation post-mortem
@@chrishilton3626 Although Richard was only given a shroud burial, after 10 years, Henry Vll forked out £10 for an alabaster tomb 'with his picture cut out, and made thereon'. Full refs in Skidmore.
10 yrs ago. But hey I’m sure nowadays he’s been found out to be of African decent. 🤷♂️
He was from the famous Welsh tribe of Zulus, the Plantagalus, (they later changed their name to "fit in",) who were guarding Hadrian's wall against all those invading white Celts!
- Not enough to complain about people wanting to restore parts of their heritage which have been glossed over in subsesquent accounts, people have to make up jokes about it to nurture their prejudices and resentments. (I am what would be called 'white', btw.)
@@helveticaification So, satire is a new concept to you. Okay, I'll be gentle. The jokes are about what could possibly happen when the same people who are trying to rewrite history now, finally get around to him. Try to laugh once in a while it will not kill you.
They paved paradise and put up parking lot.
Did'nt realise they had quick drying concrete in the fifteenth century. Impressive.
No, debunking a popular lie won't stop people from jumping on the next one if it fits their agenda.
And still no one has been arrested!
Love talking to my students about this.
Some doubt has been expressed. You might investigate and report. Nah of course not
There’s a couple of good pubs round the corner…
Better make sure the sprinkler system is working.
How far away is the carpark from Bothwell battle site? Where is the carpark in relation to the castle?
No idea where the Bothwell Battle site is in relationship to Leicester but Bosworth Field the site of his death is about 12 miles west. Head for Market Bosworth on the M69, it's about 5 miles from jct 1.
Bosworth is the name of the place where the battle was. 'Bothwell' is in Scotland.
Apparently they are planning to make a film about his life with Lenny Henry in the titular role.
Can’t believe the statue hasn’t been toppled over by the BLM.
Took 500 years to find him . Are we now going to bang on for the next 500 telling people 🙄🤔
Did they have a cake for this birthday 🎂
My kingdom for a horse.
Ironic that the last Yorkist king was found in a city that had since become so woke that they would find him problematic.
I'm pretty sure Molly does not like the way she has been filmed in this article, last time I saw a lass sweating as much as she unfortunately was, was when the tennis player, Annabel Croft was interviewed, looking like she'd just exited a sauna.
As much as I like a healthy glow Bruce, I promise you I wasn’t sweating, it’s just the very bright spotlights we have in that room! 😬 Will was incredibly lovely whilst interviewing me!
Wait... someone just had a random, totally random hunch he was there ?
Actually they did a lot of research via historical documents and maps first which led to the car park and ‘strange feeling’. You might like to check out the film ‘The Lost King’ released in 2022 lots of trailers and features here on TH-cam for it for more info?
Enjoy
There is a great documentary here on YT about the process of finding his remains.
No, of course not.
@@cosmicmuffin322 chuckle chuckle we said the same thing a minute apart! We’re obviously on the same page! Enjoy
Ugh! I love this story...but it's diminished by the silly reporting of Philippa Langley having "A funny feeling". King Richard must've been turning over in his grave!
Richard the third Haplogroup G2a3b1*
PF3359 and shares the same dna as Henri and Louis of France.
Very interesting.
Council money spinner
What was King Richard 111 doing in the car park? Was he run over by an ox-cart or something?
Seriously wounded at the battle of Bosworth.
Tortured and beaten in the aftermath. His body was dumped at a Nunnery in the nearest City.
@@stephfoxwell4620 Thanks Steph. I thought King Richard died on the battlefield. Who were the torturers? /I imagine you saw the Steve Coogan written and produced film? It told some of the story well for folks like us who knew nothing - except maybe 'the princes in the tower'.
@@stephfoxwell4620 No, he was not tortured. His body was abused and exposed naked in the aftermath of the battle.
He was a northern king. He should be returned home.
How much further north should he go? LOL!
@@ronnietexan York
@@tomeastell2682
That's not a very funny answer!
Quite agree he should have been buried in York, or at least in Westminster Abbey with his beloved wife Anne.
How long it's declared he was instrumental in Slavery or he was in fact Black?. WE have to protect our History, good and bad.
I had a bit of a dodgy meal & few beers last night, this morning I buried my Richard the 3rd under some loo paper in the toilet then flushed it, I decided to honour it as a Roya Flush !
He was a sub Saharan black wasn't he?😂🤣
I heard it wasn't proved 100% it was Richard 🤔
Songs Coops, as the narrator says, dna taken from living descendants confirm it is him.
Oscar he will have hundreds of thousands of living descendants. Maybe millions.
It is 540 years ago.
19 generations.
With geometric progression ,doubling every 28 years you'd have 500,000 forebears in 1485.
So be related to up to 20% of the population.
@@stephfoxwell4620 Direct descendants from the maternal line. That DNA can be traced back to one sole female who is the mother of all humans alive today, an "Eve" if you will. So, I think they can trace one person back 500 hundred years.
@@stephfoxwell4620 No direct descendents, though. His young heir, and traceable illegitimate children, all died without known issue.
that's a lie he was not the last Plantagenet our rightful King and hair to the British throne and who is Christian not Jewish like the pretend king Chile's is alive and well and lives in Australia Proven by DNA the rightful line off Successions end was engineered by the Cromwell family of Jewish decent
The Australian descendent of Richard's brother, the Duke of Clarence, who would have been King if we disallow history, has now passed away, and his daughter would be the rightful Queen.
Oh, for goodness' sake!> Where do you all get these crazy ideas?
@@rachelhenderson2688 from DNA
That's if you believe who they found was Richard III. It could have been someone completely different. The DNA evidence from an alleged living descendant doesn't prove a thing given how many affairs and in breeding went on back in those days. Cool story though.
I have always found it too far fetched and very hard to believe that this is actually Richard III.
Robin Hood is a good story as well and surprisingly, many people believe in the truth of it so I wont mention the God story!
@@1961-v9k there was a monastery of grey friars, makes sense he would be buried inside the grounds
Actually, they checked it pretty thoroughly. Had to. Anyway, it was through the female, or Mitochondrial DNA they traced it, so it doesn't matter how many unfaithful wives there were, they trace in back through the women only.
@Neria Wolf When Dd I say he was in breed? I didn't did it. It was used in a general term. Fact is they did have all sorts of affairs, most of which know of us will never know about. There is absolutely no way of proving this was Richard III for sure. Could be someone completely different.
That won’t tell you he was a black man.
In those days black man meant very dark haired.
Probably because he wasn't !
This obsession with everything belonging to blacks (i.e. Africans) is disgusting. Western countries belong to Europeans, they have their own countries.
@Insane Rabbit Daddy You have to laugh, the B.B.C. is a mortally wounded animal.
But it says a lot about you.
He was a multiple murderer and a usurper, who was never accepted as a legitimate King by nearly everyone who mattered in the day. Forget More and Shakespeare. Every record from his own day confirms that view of him. But nothing can ever persuade a Riccardian. For centuries they have been trying to blacken Henry VII by insisting that Richard's body was mutilated and tipped into the river. Now, confronted with the fact that he was decently buried in consecrated ground, they try to turn that to their advantage by insinuating that he must have been respected. They told anyone who'd listen that Richard's deformity was "Tudor propaganda", but now that they can't deny that it was real, they either ignore it or want it treated as a virtue. It's ludicrous.
Dicky 3 played by the rules of his day but he lost.
Completely incorrect
All royals are the same though, the current bunch sitting on billions they stole from the people
Gee, just as well that you never pursued a career as a historian. There would have been slower ways for you to starve, but none surer.
I quote a contemporary letter about Richard lll: 'He contenteth the people wheresoever he goes. God hath sent him for the weal of us all'. His zeal for seeing justice done, and the fact that Henry Vll never accused him of murdering his nephews, undermine your old-fashioned viewpoint.
Civil war
Bother against brother. Never a good thing.

RIII was an awful person even by the standards of other kings. I am glad Leicester has made something out of his non-legacy.
Only according to Tudor propaganda.
What do you know of the other usurper King Louis 1215-16?
Your legacy will be remembered for minutes after you're gone, a bit jealous that he is still thought of hundreds of years late, and most likely for hundreds more after you are just a footnote in your family history, LOL!
@@stephfoxwell4620 Actually according to reality. I am not saying the Tudors were wonderful - but then neither were the Plantagenets. But this Ricardian Society and its a historic goons are tiresome.
As for Louis - the issue was the civil war caused by John and his Barons. He was so dreadful Louis was invited to become king by them. Then there was a partial reconciliation and Louis was removed.
Soyour point is what exactly?
@@ronnietexan What 'legacy' does RIII have EXACTLY ? Infamy you mean?
LOL - Hahahha - STFU.
@@uingaeoc3905 That is still a legacy! Abuse, the retort of the terminally stupid.
Great story... just a pity that Leicester is now a majority black and asian city, and fast becoming even more of a shite hole.
