Digging for Richard III: The Search for the Lost King by Mike Pitts

5.0

I loved this book. I admire the team who dedicated so much to recover this king. No matter the feelings towards Richard the third he was a king and he deserved a kingly resting place. He was a great warrior no matter what faults he had. I think he has been unjustly given a villainous persona. He was a king and all kings before him demonstrated strong actions. I am glad he has been found by dedicated people who wanted him found and honored. Many scholars believe Richards reputation was Tudor propaganda. The Tudor’s made him a villain worse than he actually was. He lived in a turbulent violent time. The Tudor kings executed many people but Richard is remembered as a villainous king. This is a debate that will go on and on. The dna testing and facial reconstruction is fascinating. A great read on all
Aspects of finding the church and Richard.
