22nd August - so we walked up to the memorial at the top of Bosworth Field. Of course about 30 years after it was built the archaeologist showed they’d put it in the wrong place - he died in the swamp at the bottom of the hill, like Shakespeare said. And then got buried in the Leicester car park

It has been so much fun contributing to this podcast Can't wait for the release of Season 2 to start ... first Friday of each month ... so that's September 5th for Season 2! #truecrime #podcast #forensiclinguistics #appliedlinguistics #linguistics #academicsky #langsky #lingsky #TeamAston
