Popular joke at the time he was found:<br>The next time you find yourself getting angry because you’re stuck in traffic, just remember. It took Richard III 500 years to get out of the car park!

Interesting fact. Richard's coffin was made by Michael Ibsen, one of the descendants of his family line used to confirm the body was Richard's.

It is always said that Shakespeare villianised Richard III, but it was Tudor propaganda that started this years before Shakespeare. It was in Henry VII best interests to have Richard III seen as the evildoer. Shakespeare’s story telling aided in giving Richard III horns and a tail…

If you're ever in Leicester take the time to visit the museum dedicated to the finding of his grave and the associated history. It's very much worth a visit. Very informative.

Still amazed they actually found him.

At least this king was man enough to stand with his troops and face battle unlike the cowards of today that command from the safety being hundreds if not thousands of miles away leading men to their deaths. Much respect for the kings of the past.

There was this joke about the Richard III being so malevolent, that he took up two parking spaces.

My husband was distantly related to King Richard III, through one if Richards Plantagenent Aunts. We live in Texas and we contacted a florist in Leceister and had her deliver a bouquet of white roses to the burial of Richard.

Our medieval re enactment group took part in the 21 cannon salute at Bosworth battlefield field before Richard was taken to Leicester cathedral, this year we have been invited to return on 22nd /23rd of March to commemorate 10 years, both times will and have been one of the most prestigious events we will ever do and feel so honoured to be part of history.

Relying on Shakespeare as a source is like relying on GRRM for a history of Europe during the Middle Ages.
