I can think of nowhere else in the world that this kind of thing would happen. English history is wonderful but no longer taught in schools. We are now taught to be ashamed of it. Rest in peace Richard III.
That is not true. The good and the bad are taught. You just don't like hearing the truth. Secondly no one has asked you to be ashamed of your history or being English. It's just that unfortunately you English people in particular have allowed the Bigots to have the loudest voices instead of people like you celebrating customs like this you keep quiet and cower while the Bigots are all we hear. For example, everytime there's talk of celebrating St. George's Day, all we see and hear are demonstrations from right wing racists like the English defence league hurling insults at black people and Asians instead of people like you organising festivals like jousting, talking about the history of the greatest navy in the world (The British Navy or the Royal marines,), or talking or celebrating scientists like Isaac Newton or Fleming or Robertson or something and his steam engine. You could celebrate Astronomy, Medicine, Rail building, Music like William Byrd, Purcell, Hubert, Walton... Or the greatest playwright of all William Shakespeare. You spend it insulting and hurling insults. If only you knew how much most of us would love to see or experience a proper cultural festival because of what we have read you would not be sulking but working hard to organise a big English Bonanza and invite us to enjoy it, instead you use ST. George's Day shouting and fighting and you wonder why you are ashamed? It is the voices you allow to drown you out that are to blame not people making you ashamed. So stop mourning and get to work. Show us the best of England even just for one day and then you can go back to mourning and insulting the other days we don't care, we just want to have a good experience at least once a year. Try it.
Rest in peace King Richard...God has pardoned and history has witnessed it. Your bones dug up from a parking lot to receive the honor fit for your highness...for YOU were the rightful King and the last of the true Kings of your line...
I did my mtDNA three years ago and found out, that King Richard III was one of my ancestors. I was not surprised. My great-grandmother came from a German nobility family. People are being so disrespectful to King Richard. Such punks!
Watching QEII's cortege in Edinburgh and London recently reminded me of this. It must have been quite an atmosphere in Leicester that day. I like that they had the late medieval touch with the knights. Surreal to think of a 15th Century king going past 21st Century shops.
Yeah, one of the two guys in armor was actually Tobias Capwell, who was part of the academic team which studied the remains of Richard III after discovery and he's curator of arms and armor at the Wallace Collection. He is also one of the people who helped reintroducing jousting as a sport and is very good at it, even became "Queens Champion" during a jousting in honor of the Queen.
One of them is Tobias Capwell, an American-born historian who is the curator of armor and arms at the Wallace Collection in London and is known to be a very good jouster.
Really admire that women, she even suggested the actual spot and there he was found, wonderful. I was really glued to that program when it was on TV and have watched numerous times since.
He wasn’t the Duke of York. In fact, he murdered the Duke of York! He was Duke of Gloucester, in the south west. He was born in Northamptonshire, in the midlands. He fought in the Midlands and died and was hastily buried in the Midlands, I.e. Leicester. His body was found in Leicester by Leicester University.
York was the city of his heart; he loved it and the people of York loved him. But, as Philippa Langley explains, part of the funding agreement for the dig, was that if his bones were discovered, he would be interred in Leicester.
No, the funeral was visited by the Duke and the Duchess of Gloucester, just like Richard was once, @@suzannehaigh4281 , and they were sitting in the first row
@@Yaketyyak21 What, the only empire to abolish slavery of its own accord, and then use its own Navy to enforce that and stop other countries' slave trades ? Read some history.

That's not a very fancy coffin; he was after all--legitimately or not--the King for two years. It looks like plain light wooden material, hopefully not pressboard, devoid of decoration. Back in his day, the late 1400s, they royalty were very fond of fancy velvet, silks and jewels. 0 here.
well considering wood is from canada. it would be consider a coffin fit for the king at the time. wood from unknown land used as his coffin, carved by his descendant.
Unfortunately, Shakespeare was out to please the Monarch of his day, who wanted to portray Richard as a murderer and a hunch back. Richard did have a slightly twisted spine, possibly due to being made to practice archery from a very young age. If you read the history books, it would appear that it was another “Royal” person, who wanted her son to succeed to the crown, that was responsible for the murder of the young Prince’s. It all makes very interesting reading, but probably, we will never know the whole truth.
@@mothermary3200 sorry to come in here when this comment was a year old but he actually had scolliosis! There was another documentary that focused on their findings with his spine and it was actually curved quite a bit. They did manage to find a body double with the same degree of curvature and were able to deternine Richard III's capability in battle thanks to him.
I know! I hate when people applaud at something that should be a reverential affair. They did it for Diana too. It's like saying you're glad they're dead! Peculiar.
According to Dr. Kat from Reading the Past, there is actually little evidence and more of Tudor propaganda to say that Richard had murdered his nephews. While there is no concensus, there was more incentive for Henry Tudor Sr. to eliminate challengers to the crown.
So!!! Did the original funeral procession hit the drive thru at the original Burger King on the way to burying King Richards remains in the car park???? Asking for a friend. LOL. 🙃🙃🙃🙃 (American smartass here).
@@sanjivjhangiani3243 should also be worth noting: Lord Stanley, whose army was watching the battle of bosworth nearby and joined Henry Tudor's side when Richard was about to win, whose soldiers actually killed Richard III.. was constable of the Tower of London where the Princes were being held..
Even if his reign as king is controversial, he deserved this type of burial. He was royalty and a military leader in his own right.
Richard died in battle like a true soldier-king leading from the front, something nobody can ever take away from him.
There is nothing better than seeing a legendary monarch past by Burger King.

The fact that the guy you read about in history book had his final goodbye and parade 500 year plus later through a shopping district
Thank you to the lady in a red jacket who clapped and bowed her head. Only she did this
His coffin also passed by the Body Shop. Very appropriate.
Something out of Monty Python...

NO LONGER RICHARD III .......... INN MY RESEARCH OF HIM. TO ME NOW HAS TO TITLE RICHARD THE BRAVE WARRIOR KING....... AND AS SHORT RICHARD THE BRAVE
All because of one woman who believed he could be found.
Really admire that women, she even suggested the actual spot and there he was found, wonderful. I was really glued to that program when it was on TV and have watched numerous times since.
And it seems like King Richard III wanted to be found.
Can't understand for the life of me why Richard lll is buried at Leicester and not York.
He wasn’t the Duke of York. In fact, he murdered the Duke of York! He was Duke of Gloucester, in the south west. He was born in Northamptonshire, in the midlands. He fought in the Midlands and died and was hastily buried in the Midlands, I.e. Leicester. His body was found in Leicester by Leicester University.
The Yorkists powerbase was the Midlands and to a degree the south. The Lancastrians were stronger in the north
York was the city of his heart; he loved it and the people of York loved him. But, as Philippa Langley explains, part of the funding agreement for the dig, was that if his bones were discovered, he would be interred in Leicester.

God save the king 🙏
Did any of the present British Royal Family attend the funeral?
Countess of Wessex.
The queen daughter in law
and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester
I heard of no one and saw no one so if they did they must have hid
No, the funeral was visited by the Duke and the Duchess of Gloucester, just like Richard was once, @@suzannehaigh4281 , and they were sitting in the first row
I will never be ashamed of english or of british history. The UK's left-wing school system tried, but failed to make me ashamed. RIP King Richard III.
You should be ashamed,what they did in other countries is awful..plundered and murdered,and you think that’s ok…

@@susannamarker2582 They've gone quiet now lmao
If UK schools are SO left wing, why did the tories win a massive majority at the last election?
Quite something to think that Richard III was king for a shorter time than Gordon Brown and Theresa May served as Prime Minister
Don't people know the difference between it's and its
This is horrible. His remains going by a f***ing Burger King??? 🙄
個人の偉業より、金が出したもん勝ちっていうのはどこにでもある汚点。見つけたのは一個人なのに発掘に金を出したんだから名声は大学がってのはがっかりした
Shouldn't the coffin have had the royal standard over it?
It has a small standard on it. For the house of york!

Calm down.

A visit to King Richard III's final resting place in Leicester Cathedral will reveal that his final resting place is indeed fit for a king.
His coffin was carved by his most direct descendent - a carpenter.
We all know Blackadder killed him anyway.
@@robholloway6829 The same carpenter was asked to come to the university for a DNA test. That's how they found out it was indeed Richard III.
well considering wood is from canada. it would be consider a coffin fit for the king at the time. wood from unknown land used as his coffin, carved by his descendant.
King Richard III's reburial procession passing a Burger King... Coincidence? 🤔
A hunchback that was related to him died 2 months ago in my town. I fixed his back for him.
You didn’t do a good job on him if he died…
I wonder if anyone threw a red rose instead of a white one…
They could have tied an unmounted horse to the carriage carrying his coffin. That was after all if we are to believe Shakespeare, what he wanted.
Shakespeare is the last person we should believe!!
@@janetp7583 And there is a growing number of people who think someone else wrote several of his plays...

Why clap hands at someone's funeral. Highly inappropriate.

Maybe it was out of sympathy for the two innocent little boys he had killed?
I think they were welcoming him home
@@TomthatiscalledTom There is a lot of doubt that Richrd was responsible for their deaths
Hideous pastiche of a Royal burial. King Richard 111 was a devout Catholic King not a wishy-washy Protestant Anglican. Shameful disrespect.
What has always puzzled me is why no representative from the Royal Family attended, I think this was disrespectable.
This isn’t true. HRH Prince Richard Duke of Gloucester represented the royal family at the funeral
Bro wtf. Richard Duke of Gloucester was there! What do u mean 💀
Not so. Sophie, Prince Edward's wife was there.
@@Kwid90 Yes, my apologies
All hail Richard III, forever known as the Burger King.
I’d say Henry III is the Burger King
Give some respect dude

I feel a Monty Python skit coming on.
We just gonna ignore he killed the rightful king who was just a kid?

Actually it is now believed to be more likely that was done by Henry and blamed on Richard because he could not defend himself being dead.
@@suzannehaigh4281Richard is still the most likely candidate
Wasn't this king an evil dictator???
Weren't most medieval kings?
Yes.
No one is really sure, so much was written after he was dead to please the then present King

King Richard white, police white, knights white, crowd white, funeral directors white
And? Something wrong with that? You thought King Richard could have been black?
Very funny , a tribute to some one who killed his own nephews.King or pauper it's the same.
That has been disputed; remember, the history of that time was written by the victors, Richard's enemies.
