Remains of King Richard III Found?

Currenlty I'm reading 'The Virgin Widow' by Anne O'Brien, which is about King Richard III's wife Anne Neville. It's a wonderful story about Anne and her relationship with Richard prior to him becoming king. So today I saw a news article about possibly finding the remains of King Richard III.

A little background: King Richard III died during the battle of Bosworth which lead to Henry VII winning the English crown. It's said that King Richard III was buried at Greyfriars church but the actual church has been lost within history due to the destruction of Catholic churches during King Henry VIII.

It would be interesting that something lost in history is found. It's also interesting when you read about certain characters and things like these come up. Now, it's just the waiting of the DNA sample to confirm the remains.
