UPDATE!
Just learned that the discovery of King Richard's body was even more of a miracle than we thought. His grave came within inches of being destroyed.
“It’s a miracle that King Richard's skeleton was where it was," site director Mathew Morris of the university's archaeological services said in a written statement. "To the east, there is a massive disturbance that has removed all evidence of the church -- which must have come within inches of his head."

The Wars of the Roses is
coming to television! Here's the headline from the Daily Mail (UK):
A very dangerous liaison: An epic new Wars Of
The Roses drama tells how Edward IV's marriage to a Lancastrian Queen tore the
country apart
As the Daily Mail describes it, "England has been at war for nine years [when the series opens] over who is the rightful
king. It’s a war between two families – The House of York and The House of
Lancaster – but the series focuses primarily on four powerful women caught up
in the conflict..."
The series will air on Starz on August 8, 2013.
