Should the bones be given a proper funeral or put on display in a museum?
I’d like to see them put on display.
Yeah, me too, it will be a good tourist attraction.
And getting into the spirit of posthumous witchhunts, I think he should go on trial for the murder of his two nephews and the “rightful” heir to the throne, Edward V. :wink:

The Bosworth battlesite has a visitor centre and it’d be great if his remains were kept there. I think they’ve got a cafe there too. And toilets.
They could make replicas of the bones, and put those on display, and bury the others with pomp and circumstance. Thats if they are really sure they are the bones of Richard III.

I want the real bones on display!
He might well be nnocent of that murder of the Princes….
the Royals have said they’ll refuse to let him be buried in Windsor or Westminster..they suggest Leiecester Cathedral…
I reckon York Minster would be good…he was very popular in York and always felt it was his home…
Yes, but Shakespeare wrote about him and Olivier played him on the big screen. He was killed on the battlefield near Shenton and that’s where he should be returned to. Let’s turn the visitor centre on the battlefield into a theme park. It’s what the Americans would’ve done.

Henry very likely killed the boys in the tower. He married their older sister and of course he would have not wanted any little boys to threaten his rather rocky claim to the throne. The shakespeare version was for the Tudors, so no wonder it painted Richard III in a bad light, they needed a patsy to blame for the murders!
And.. he was very popular in York, it was his home, it is the Plantagent centre, and there is a Richard III museum in the wall. He was very popular with everyone, a kind and thoughtful man, it would have been out of character for him to have murdered his two little nephews.
I still think, replicas in the museum, and bury his bones. Poor man should be laid to rest.

Hmmm. :-k
How do you consolidate your power? Remove any potential threats, and Edward V and his brother could both be considered as threats and the rightful heirs to the throne.
