At 1½ minutes the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St6LeKcR7qU isn’t very long, but if you can stand the loud, brash commentary (and the repetition of old fallacies), the actual point about the Speed map of Leicester is interesting. Did John Speed make a boo-boo and mistake Blackfriars for Greyfriars, leading to subsequent historians and archaeologists wasting time digging around in the wrong corner of the city?
Well, for once the right people get the credit for finding Richard’s actual resting place – members of the Richard III Society (although there are others pictured below too). What a welcome change! So take a quick look at the video.
