shaney, they were delighted with her, they all say it would never have happened without her.
I didn't realise how lucky it all was. They knew from old maps where the friary grounds were (the streets haven't changed) but not where the church was. They had only been given two weeks, so it was like Time Team. They actually found the skeleton instantly but didn't dig it up so didn't notice the warped spine or anything - there could have been hundreds of skeletons there over the centuries and they couldn't waste time on individual ones. It wasn't till a few days later they located signs of where the church itself was, then realised the skeleton was inside it in roughly the right spot, so they went back and excavated it.
But they'd never expected to find it. They thought they had a good chance of finding friary walls but didn't even think they'd find the church let alone the skeleton.
The funny thing was the illegitimacy they discovered. It didn't affect Richard's descent, but depending when it happened (they're still working on this) it might have meant York or Lancaster or both had no claim to the throne at all, and maybe that the Tudors didn't either.
They also found a much more recent one, only one or two generations ago by the sound of it and went to tell the man involved (duke of Somerset's family, I think - we weren't told his name). Apparently he didn't say anything at all but his mother said "AHA! That explains it!", which they took to mean they'd got it right.
