Should the remains of King Richard III be interred at Leicester or York?

I think he should be interred at Palm Beach. He has had so many troubles in and after his life, he deserves a nice sunny holiday spot.

I would be happy with either place IF a proper burial with a tomb worthy of an annointed king is on the cards. Leicester initially agreed to this, then suddenly did an about turn because of the small size of their cathedral; basically I have nothing nothing against Leicester, but it seems the facilities are inadequate and hence there should be an open debate (a legal challenge from Richard's collateral descendants is already taking place) about where King Richard should be reinterred. As it stands, I would have to vote for York Minster, which has the room and is a place he knew in life.

While I accept that the terms of the license to excavate the Grey Friars site in Leicester stipulated that should the remains of Richard III be discovered then he should be re-interred in Leicester Cathedral. I ardently believe that Richard should be re-interred in York because the sources show use that Richard III was a King whose priorities were not simply confined to the South but to the North as well (even Edward VI - another son of York - could claim that) and that when Richard III visited York he was greeted with celebration and when he was killed at Bosworth Field, York was one of the few areas to openly mourn his death. In addition to this I don't think that Leicester would be an appropriate place to re-inter an ordained Monarch given that since Henry III's construction of Westminster Abbey, the vast majority of English / British Monarchs have been buried in Westminster Abbey or St. Georges Chappel (with the exception of disgraced Monarchs) and while I don't think he should be buried there given their links to the Tudor Dynasty, Englands second city would be the perfect location to bury him.

York.

It is a city that still honours him; the use of his tomb as an extra tourist attraction hardly matters to York (they have tourist honeypots, including the finest Gothic cathedral in Europe, coming out of their ears); it was where he himself wanted to be buried. His own wishes should have some weight.

He had no connexion with Leicester and until they saw the chance to use him to make money from visitors, they had no interest in him either.

Let the poor man come home.

Given as on the time of Richard III neither France nor fairly the Itish time-honored the English king as their king I quite doubt human beings of the two nationality cares plenty previous the reality that this is an fairly cool to discover. Irish royalists help the present monarchy in eire. they're in favour of a continuation of the union between England, Scotland, and eire. they do no longer constantly understand Richard III as having been their king, they understand Elizabeth II as on the instant being their Queen. Or, nonetheless, they're Jacobites and understand the descendants of James III (the historic Pretender) as a king. that they had no longer be inquiring for Richard III to be lie in state in Dublin, I doubt they might care all that plenty frequently and to have an English monarch lie in state in a non-Commonwealth Realm may well be a sprint cheesy. French monarchists do no longer aupport the English/British monarchy in any respect. Richard III's styling of King of Franxe was once comfortably a styling and did no longer replicate in any understand on his truthfully being the King of France. present day Fench monarchists help the two the abode of Bourbon, the condominium of Orleans, or the home of Bonaparte. they do no longer view Richard III as a first-rate or parent in French historic previous previous him being an English monarch.

I think York, but then I live here. There's been a Richard III museum here for years, plus he grew up at Middleham in the Yorkshire Dales, and came to York often. He was respected here and the citizens publicly mourned him when he was killed, at some risk to themselves.

he should have his place among the other kings in London propaganda has seperated him

from the others they all had skeletons in the cupboard they were no different why should he remain an outcast Henry V111 most revered yet a terrible man

York deserves seen as it is where he is from.
