Richard was laid to rest yesterday, March 26, 2015.
"May he rest in Peace, and rise in Glory."
He received full page coverage from the New York Times and
an excellent article entitled "Richard's Rock-Star Burial" from the
Daily Beast. Here are the links:
The Daily Beast: ""There is, by contrast, ample
evidence that he was in fact a fair king, a “good lord” as the contemporary
historian John Rous described him. He was also the king who invented the first
form of legal aid so that the poor could have access to justice, and he was also
the last British king to die in combat, so we know he never asked his soldiers
to face risks he was unprepared to face himself. Can we say that about any
revered leader of modern times?" Read full article here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/25/richard-ii-s-rock-star-burial-an-english-king-is-laid-to-rest.html
