Tomb and Richards Pain

First I would like to say I love the proposed design, for the tomb, simple and elegant, has his emblems on it and its modern enough for people who do not know who it is in the future to want to view it.  We have to look to the future.  I thought it would have a portrait of some kind on it but agree with others that it would only stoke the flames about the disability angle.

As someone who has a parent with a curved spine and being someone who has suffered for a chronic pain condition for 10 years, I would say that although its horrible - if you want to do something and plan and rest its possible most of the time, by the time Richard went into battle he was experienced and probably knew his limitations (if he had any).

Lack of children to his marriage I would suggest was more to do with his wife, she and her sister seemed to be delicate, although this is not proven, but surprising as they were daughters of the Kingmaker.  Richards family never seemed to be short of children either legal or not.

Love the banter on the site, but sometimes struggle to read the amount we are now getting, but do not want to miss anything.
