John Ashdown-Hill led the Looking for Richard project
According to BBC News:
The academic whose research led to the discovery of Richard III’s remains said he should be given a Roman Catholic rather than Anglican funeral.
Dr John Ashdown-Hill, from Colchester, has now entered the fray saying King Richard would want a Catholic burial.
“If Richard III had not have died, maybe the Anglican church would never have existed,” he said.
More than 7,500 people have signed an online petition in favour of keeping the king’s remains in Leicester, but nearly 25,000 have signed up to support re-interring his remains in York Minster.
