DNA testing may establish lineage going back more than 500 years

7. I read about those coffins on the website of the Richard III Society in NSW.

I'd never heard of them until a few months ago.

There seems to be an assumption that they contain the bodies of children, so presumably the coffins are small. If they are children, it seems on balance far more likely that they would be the missing princes than the bones found in the Tower.

It's hard to understand the attitudes of authorities who don't want to investigate - afraid their long-held prejudices won't hold up?

And it seems that the Westminster Archdiocese can give authority for the bones there to be examined, but they refuse, backed by the Queen and the government. I hope pressure will mount on them with the discovery of Richard III's bones. Some big Tudor lies have now been exposed, and it's time to solve a few more mysteries. Dig them all up and test them now that the technology is there.
