king of england

Actually finding the grave of Richard III, the last king of the English Plantagenet dynasty, was a riveting event for the world. And locating a direct descendent, who happened to be a carpenter, was also riveting. Especially because he constructed his kingly ancestor's coffin for the re-burial. The entire story of the excavation, reconstruction of King Richard III's face, and his reburial, completed the most sensational archaeological find for generations.

Edward is the King of England. He's also dying, which is inconvenient, as he's only sixteen and he'd much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. Jane is Edward's cousin, and far more interested in books than in romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there's something a little odd about her intended, Gifford. He is a horse. Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed - but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It's all very dignified.
