Legal battle begins over burial place of Richard III
The legal battle to have the remains of Richard III to buried in Yorkshire has officially begun.
Fifteen of the last Yorkist King's descendants are challenging the decision to bury his remains, which were found under a council car park in Leicester, in the city's cathedral.
They say they were never asked for their opinion and want some form of public and academic consultation about where the remains should be buried. Papers seeking the judicial review were lodged in London's High Court this morning.
Did Richard III undergo painful treatment for spine?
King Richard the Third, whose bones were discovered in a car park in Leicester, could have undergone painful medical treatments for his spinal curvature, according to research from a University of Leicester researcher.
In the late medieval period, one of the cures for spinal curvature, or scoliosis, was "traction". Traction worked on the same principle on which “the Rack” worked as an instrument of torture.
The patient would be tied under the armpits and round the legs. The ropes were then pulled at either end, often on a wooden roller, to stretch the patient’s spine.
Richard III would certainly have been able to afford this expensive medical care – and his physicians would have been well aware of the standard “traction” methods for treating the condition.
Richard III's descendants: "reburial is a breach of human rights"
Fifteen of Richard III's descendents are seeking a judicial review over the planned reburial of the King's remains in Leicester Cathedral - saying it is a breach of their Human Rights.
A team from the University of Leicester unearthed the Yorkist King's remains under a council carpark but a group of distant relatives say they weren't consulted and it breaches their right to family life.
The university disputes the claims and says there was 'no obligation' to consult them.
