More regarding Richard III

  1. I was listening to PBS news on TV this afternoon about Richard the 3rd, King of England whose skeleton was found buried naked and quickly after a battle when he was felled by a battle axe behind I believe the right ear. He had scoliosis and had a high protein diet reserved only for Kings and Royalty at that time and has been genetically matched and carbon dated and was obviously in the right place at the right time. So, it is virtually certain that the skeleton they dug up in an English parking lot was Richard III of England. He was a Plantagenet King and was killed by the Tudors who have ruled England ever since. So, they said he was a hunchback and a bad person etc. But we know already now he wasn't a hunchback and only had scoliosis. And since history is always written by the Conquerors rather than the conquered one must always be suspicious of any written history because of this. Because seldom is it unbiased. So, what this means is that history seldom is written both true and unbiased and rather tends to be "His Story" instead.

    I went to England in October 2011 and went to Westminster Abbey where Queen Elizabeth I and many other Monarchs and royalty are buried. Also, there are memorials to people like Francis Bacon there as well. Many people believe that Francis Bacon "The father of the Scientific Method" was the illegitimate  son of Queen Elizabeth I. Since my grandfather said that My father and I and he were descendents of Francis Bacon, we all might be related to Queen Elizabeth I also. So, I find all this interests me more because of all this potential connectivity.
