The remains of the last Plantagenêt king of England could have been discovered

A skeleton with apparents battle wounds and curvature of the spine has been discovered on Wedenesday in the buried ruins of the Greyfriars church in Leicester city. The archeologists team of the university of that town announced there is strong circumstancial evidence that these human remains could be Richard III, the last Plantagenêt king of England. Experts will compare samples taken on the remains with a DNA sample from the king’s 17th-generation nephew. The remains (a fully articulated skeleton), which have been carefully exhumeed and are now in a secret location, appears to be of an adult male. The skeleton was found in what is believed to be the choir of the church, the area reported in the historical record as the burial place of King Richard III.

 That discovery takes place two days after Angers city ended a cultural event, Les Accroche-coeurs, dedicated to claim to England a compensation (the return to Angers of the jewels crown) for the execution of Edward Plantagenêt, the last pretender to England's throne after the death of his uncle Richard III, in 1485 during the Bosworth battle. That discovery was reported today by about 500 medias all over the world demonstrating that 500 hundred years after its end, the Plantagenêt dynasty attractivenes was still alive. In Angers, the city the Plantagenêt came from, no news was published on the issue.
