AKSARBENT tweet of the month: Richard III, parking fee scofflaw

     Richard III was slain at the battle of Bosworth Field by the army of Henry Tudor (aka Henry VII) in 1485 during the Wars of the Roses after a two-year reign.
     He was the last of the Plantagenet dynasty and was immortalized by a Shakespeare play.
     Popular legend says he was dumped in the river.
     Not true.
     The Franciscans buried him under their church, which is long gone, replaced by the GreyFriars parking lot in Leicester.
     Richard remained, however, until earlier this year when the University of Leicester dug him up.
     His face has now been modeled from the skull.
