Sharon Kay Penman fan here! My absolute favorite of her books, and one of my top 3 all-time favorites, is her "The Sunne in Splendour" about Richard III. I read that book when I was in college, so sometime between 2004-2008. I was so sad that Richard's body was lost forever and did quite a bit of digging into theories about whether it really was just tossed into a river. I literally cried the day I learned he'd actually been found.

@@JW-vi2nh They had designated such a small area in the parking lot as the possible location of Richard III's remains, I was highly skeptical they'd find anything. But no -- they found a skeleton which, on examination, was discovered to have the asymmetrical shoulders one would expect. At this point, I was 99% certain. I scarcely even needed the DNA confirmation to get to 100%. It was a triumph. Talk about against all odds!
