    I think it's a great story personally.

    Anyway, I understand they also discovered AKCJ's joke book another couple of foot down.

    The battlefield is very very close to my home, run by a girl who I went to school withs family. Quite amusing, as the battlefield centre isn't actually the site of the battle and archaeologists found it to be in some fields in the middle of nowhere which I pass through every day on my way to work and back.

    Useless fact of the day.

    I remember reading that the day before i actually went to the centre, i think they tried to deny it.

    The best part was when my lecturer took us to where he believed Richard III's grave was, think it was five miles away from where he showed us. I have to admit he is and always has being my favourite king, even argued that in a practice interview for University.

    Can't wait for the TV show tonight.

    It's definitely those fields, they found more lead shots and cannonball stacks there than any other medieval battlefield in Europe. I think the place you're on about is king Richards field which is a stone and well in the middle of a small field where they thought he died, not his grave. His body was always thought to have been taken to Leicester and left hanging just outside the city center, next to the roman ruins, where king Richards bridge is now.

    I don't know where abouts they found his bones, I've not looked up on it yet.

    So you've taken an interesting story about a part of our history, and turned it around to being about Leicester, and AKCJ, and will whine at the first chance of him WUMing on here along with any other Leicester fans?

    Fail.

    In the same week that Attilla The Twat has been discovered living at your home address ... what are the odds on that?

    My apologies - he was born in Northampton......

    But, you're right, he was a Yorkist. His castle was at Middleham.
