According to BBC News:
Richard III, found by archaeologists last autumn below a Leicester car park, would have attended… reburials in his own lifetime, including for his own father.
This was a profoundly religious society and reburial also had an important part in hopes for after death.
Richard seemed to be a religious man, his devotional books have survived with his own notes in the margin. And Dr Buckle believes he would have expected such a religious service.
“…he may have been buried naked, as it shows how rushed this was.”
“This will give him the funeral he never had,” she says.
