Perhaps you might have mentioned Thomas Cromwell? I recently visited the excavation site in Leicester and a less prepossessing location would be hard to imagine.

But question: <br /><br />"An inscription asked for prayers for Richard's soul "to atone my crimes and ease my pains below."<br /><br />Is this Henry VII atoning or suggesting that Richard had much to atone for? (Both were likely true,right?)

The King must have been shaken by those words, and may have feared that they were true. Who knows - perhaps they gnawed away at his conscience even after he had married Ann?
