King Richard: A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a comma!
Catesby: Withdraw, my lord: I’ll help you to a comma.
King Richard: Slave! I have set my life upon a caste,
And I will stand the hazard of the die,
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain instead of him.

A path well royally trodden – framed in the lychgated entrance, the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda in the North Yorkshire village of Middleham, near Leyburn in Wensleydale.
Grade I listed, the ancient church dates from the 13th century and was where Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) once worshipped.
King Richard spent several years during his childhood at Middleham Castle and which later became one of his royal homes.

Nach einer wahren Geschichte: Philippa Langley macht sich auf die Suche nach dem Grab von Richard III und entdeckt es unter einem Parkplatz in Leicester. Die Uni #Leicester und deren überwiegend männliche Archäologen reklamieren die Entdeckung für sich - und in der Realität verklagt einer sogar die Produzenten wegen der unrealistisch ... (1/2)

“The fate of the princes in the Tower is one of the most controversial episodes in British history. [Tim Thornton and Tracy Borman have] made some discoveries that could potentially give us a new understanding of what happened to the princes more than five centuries ago.”

Rhyming slang for ”Richard the Third” seems ever more apt.
