I came across a Youtube of the reburial few years back of the mortal remains of Richard III of England. I wonder if it struck anyone else as odd for a Catholic to have been reburied with such pomp and circumstance in an Anglican cathedral with Anglican ceremony and music when it was the heretical, wife murdering, son of Henry VII - whose henchmen murdered the king - who invented Anglicanism so he could steal everything that belonged to the Church, murder numerous Catholics, lay people, nuns, monks, priests, etc. because the Pope wouldn't give him a divorce? The Tudors were about the worst dynasty ever to oppress the English, Henry VIII alone is estimated to have killed more than 70,000 people, especially in his reign of terror years up to the end.
I know it's let bygones be bygones, which is totally great, but shouldn't they have buried him in his own church?
That play, as much as most people who know anything about him knows, it's Tudor propaganda. He'd have had no motive to murder his nephews, for a start. Henry VII was the one with the motive to have engineered that.
Amazing how many TV shows they got out of finding him buried beneath a parking lot. There are dozens of shows and clips on Youtube.
