He regarded York as his home and his living descendants wanted him buried there. The only connection with Leicester is that his body was found there and the only reason his body was there is because he had been betrayed in battle and killed as a result of that betrayal. This is now all academic because, as we all know, he has been buried in Leicester but as far as I am concerned there is a small patch of ground in Leicester that will forever be York.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224628614127719692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-48120333207333518562014-05-20T20:06:12.825+01:002014-05-20T20:06:12.825+01:00Nigel Sollitt, your argument for a York reburial h...Nigel Sollitt, your argument for a York reburial has no weight whatsoever, given your reasons. Being a Yorkist king has nothing to do with the city of York. If that was the case then his own father, the Duke of York, would have been buried there. He is buried in Fotheringhay, in the heartland of Yorkist territory. Edward iv, another Yorkist king is buried in the royal mausoleum at Windsor.<br />In fact, despite the propaganda you may have heard, Richard left no will so no-one knows his wishes. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-34883472249385039142014-03-15T00:26:39.899+00:002014-03-15T00:26:39.899+00:00You expose the weakness of your case.

Your argument against King Richard III being re-interred in York consists solely of your dubious view of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights being used to seek judicial review whilst you present nothing to say why he should be re-interred anywhere else. The fact is, a judicial review has been granted by those that matter! Further, regardless of the wishes of his descendants, King Richard III himself wished to be buried in York and his wishes should be respected. I can understand the dearth of argument from you because there is simply no argument that can outweigh the case for the final resting-place of this Yorkist King to be anywhere but York itself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224628614127719692noreply@blogger.com
