Richard III, King of England. His life, death, and resurrection

Send us Fan MailRichard III was the last of the Plantagenets.  He was killed by his rival Henry VII in 1485 at the battle of Bosworth Field.  He has come down in history as a monster, thanks to Shakespeare and a Tudor propaganda campaign.   This is the story of his life and what happened after his death and how he has received some modest rehabilitation. It is also the story of his body, how it was lost, and recovered. I once was asked to deliver a sermon reflecting on the life of Richard.  The sermon is included.  It is the only sermon I have ever delivered, and the only one I will ever deliver. This is an unusual podcast, but perhaps an entertaining one.
