********************
People in England are very excited because the bones of Richard III, a famous English king, have been found. The bones were found under a parking lot in England last year. Scientists checked the DNA, and it matched the DNA of Richard III’s descendants. Shakespeare wrote a play about Richard III and made him a villain. In the play, Richard III killed many people including two boy princes. Now some people think that the play was not true. They don’t think Richard III was such a bad king. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
