Did you see that Benedict Cumberbatch (the actor) is the 2nd cousin 16 times removed of Richard III? He read a poem at the interment of the bones.

I love the English! I have no idea who my relatives were 500 years ago.

Very cool indeed! Poor Richard. I'm glad he's finally received the respectful burial of a king.
