THE GRAVE OF RICHARD III.

BY HENRY IRVING. One August morning in 1485, King Richard Ill., surrounded by all the pomp, pride, and circumstance of royalty and glorious war, left Leicester at the head of about twelve thousand men to give battle to Richmand. It is said that as he was crassing Bow Bridge his spur came in contact with one of the battlements, and that an old woman loudly predicted that before long his head would strike against the same stone. The battle of Bosworth was lost and won, and the hody of the usurper, covered with wounds, and besmeared with dust and blood, was stripped, irreverently flung across the back of a horse, and,

The old woman's prophecy, we are told, was duly fulfilled; at Bow Bridge the horse carrying the body swerved, and the king's head was dashed against the battlement referred to. That

bearing upon his fate should have been taken as a matter of course; but let that pass. The body, having been exposed to every indignity short of destruction, was "begged" by the monks of the Grey Friar, who gave it decent interment in the Church of St. Mary, In 1538, as an indirect consequence of the suppres sion of the monasteries, the church was razed to the ground and the grave desecrated, and from that to the present it has not been known-what became of the remains,

Local tradition, however, supplies an answer to the question bere raised. Though Henry VI. had placed a monumental pillar over his prede- cessor's grave, the abhorrence in whith Richard's memory was held by the nation bad not sensibly diminished with lapse of time, and the publica. tion of Sir Thomas More's famous book served in many quatters to add fuel to the flame. The Church of St. Mary having been destroyed, the populace of Leicester, actuated at once by their detestation of Richard's character and a belief that their conduct would win the approval of the powers that were, took the remains from the coffin, dragged then through the streets to thee spot where the old woman uttered the prophecy, dashed them against the historic battlement, and finally cast themignominiously into the Soar.
