After his misdeeds, there should be no Scots commemoration of Richard III
I NOTE with interest your report about the demand by a number of descendants of Richard III that his remains be reburied in York ("Richard III descendants demand king's York burial", The Herald, February 25).

Custom byline text:
Given that Richard had only one child born in wedlock, who died aged eight, I would suggest that such a demand merely confirms that, in addition to his other crimes, Richard was also an adulterer. I would also suggest that, as he was the last English commander to capture the Scottish royal burgh of Berwick-upon-Tweed, the further away from Scotland he is reburied the better.
