Writing in the Catholic Herald, columnist William Oddie protests the plans to rebury the remains of England's King Richard III in a Protestant cathedral.
Richard III, Oddie observes, "was the last of the Plantagenets and therefore a Catholic King, almost the last (only his usurper remained nominally faithful before the great apostasy): so he ought to be being reinterred in a Catholic cathedral."
Oddie suggests that Richard III "was not the villain depicted by Tudor propaganda," suggesting that history has skewed the public image of the Plantagenet king.
