Medieval Knight Found Under Parking Lot In Scotland;
Mysterious Remains Thrill Archeologists
THE
HUFFINGTON POST
by: Meredith Bennett- Smith
Archaeologists found a unknown body of a nobleman or
a knight under a Scottish parking lot earlier this week. This body was well
preserved and is able to be tested for DNA tests. It is explained how close it
is buried to a church, and the closer the body is buried to the church or
monastery, the more significant the individual is. There was also a sandstone
slab found near it and they are both believed to date back to the thirteenth
century, from Blackfriars Monastery. "The knight would have been buried in
the graveyard associated with the monastery meaning he had money or was
important in the society of time," Murray told HuffPost. After a DNA
analysis, scientists say that the body found belonged to King Richard the
third.
