One of the living descendants is a Canadian cabinet maker. He was living in London at the time the remains were found. He was asked to design and build the casket for the interment service at Leicester Cathedral. 🇨🇦

@@ashleelarsen5002 The losing claimant in a civil war, or someone else symbolic, often has their body disposed of, so that they don't have a burial place their supporters could flock to as a symbol of resistance. Richard III died in battle; his body was probably discovered and identified then. I'm surprised it wasn't found in a mass grave, but maybe the English armies didn't do that sort of thing back then. After 30 years of fighting, the Houses of Tudor and Lancaster weren't taking any chances that York might rise again.

Fun fact: the episode Ken Jennings' won his highest total, the answer was also Richard III... one of them at least. The category was "Shakespeare". The question was: 2 of the 4 Shakespeare plays in which ghosts appear on stage. Ken wrote down "Hamlet" and "Richard III". Alex teased Ken. "Hamlet is correct. Julius Caesar is correct. Macbeth is correct... And Richard III... is correct!" 😂

Great play but atrocious history, libelling a fine man. Such a sad life. Father and oldest brother killed when he was eight. Wife and only son died during his brief reign. Betrayed and killed in battle, then his name covered in filth for centuries. Shakespeare wrote under the Tudors who supplanted him, portraying him as a monster.

I don't know. My older son who is very bright with an incredible memory tried for some time to get on Jeopardy without success. So, I might be prejudiced. But Henry VIII? Don't see why we would need DNA to identify him. He was huge for the time. And Genghis Khan? People lack any kind of time line in their heads anymore. I know she made a joke about it but come on. One reason to suspect something is the very low scores the other challengers have had against Mattea and wasn't she the only contestant for one Final Jeopardy? I don't think even Matt Amodio did that. The easiest way would be to just make their buzzers lag behind hers. A least a large percentage of the time.
