Tomb Found At Richard III Burial Site To Be Opened


Tomb Found At Richard III Burial Site To Be Opened
Archaeologists in England are going to open the lid on a stone coffin that was discovered at the site of the English friary where the remains of Richard III's were found.

Archaeologists suspect the tomb may contain the skeleton of the medieval knight Sir William de Moton of Peckleton, who died between 1356 and 1362, or perhaps one of two heads of the Grey Friars order in England, Peter Swynsfeld or William of Nottingham.
