This is what I fussed about, the last part of
an article in the Times.
Bone-headed argument.
The controversy over where Richard should lie is among the
silliest disputes in public life. A pressure
group called the Plantagenet Alliance launched a legal challenge to the
Ministry of Justice's decision that the remains be buried in Leicester and the
issue has gone to judicial review.
The Alliance comprises 15 people who claim to be distantly
related to Richard. There are around a
million people who could plausibly say the same thing: this isn't close family
with intimate memories of the deceased.
The campaign for the bones to be buried in York Minster has gained
support from such capable historians as Geoffrey Boycott and Brian Blessed [whose
judgement that King Richard III was a terrific King might have come from Blackadder].
Researchers from the University of Leicester found and identified
the last Plantagenet King. Burying human remains on the nearest consecrated ground
is standard archaeological practice. Leicester
Cathedral was the intended place in the event of Richard's being found. The only serious argument against it is that
the fate is too honourable for the worst of English monarchs, who did indeed
procure the murder of his princely nephews in the Tower and many others
besides."
Written by Oliver Kamm three days ago now, I think. He also writes a column entitled The Pedant about
inaccuracies in current English usage.
I don't think this needs to join the Files.Jan.
