英王理查德三世遗骨在一停车场地下挖出

2013-03-23来源:ABC new

Ladies and gentlemen, it is an academic conclusion of the University of Leicester that the unreasonable doubt, the individual exhumed at the Grey Friars in September 2012 is indeed Richard III, the last Plantagenet King of England.

Scientists in England say they have found the remains of King Richard III, who died in battle 500 years ago. DNA tests prove the skeleton they’ve found under a parking lot, the former site of a church, is that of the hunchback king, known for his cruelty, the last English monarch to die in battle. He was depicted in a play by William Shakespeare as a brute who left a trail of bodies, including those of his two nephews on his way to the throne.
