- Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. As part of the Vancouver Institute Lectures Series, Green College presents a "Richard III: The Resolution of a 500-Year-Old Cold Case" by Dr. Turi King.
Dr. King is a Lecturer in Genetics and Archaeology at the University of Leicester. Her work over the years has combined genetics with archaeology, history and geography. Her PhD award-winning research in genetics examined the link between British hereditary surnames and the Y chromosome. She has continued her work on the Y chromosome and surnames, and has been leading a project examining the genetic legacy of the Vikings in the north of England. As well as leading the international research team involved in the DNA identification work of the remains of Richard III, she is also leading the project carrying out the whole genome sequencing of Richard III which is funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Leverhulme Trust and Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, the inventor of genetic fingerprinting at the University of Leicester.
My husband is a descendant of one of Richard III aunts. I called a florist, in Leicester about a week before the reburial to order a white rose be sent with a remembrance card to the service. This was before we knew the service was 'access controlled'. As it turned out, the florists vicar was to attend and he agreed to deliver our rose. BTW, we live in Texas, in the US. It was a great honor to be able to send a white rose that was delivered to the service.
Thank you for your explanation!
Thank You for that lovely gesture. 😀
As a Yorkshireman myself, and being familiar with Richard's childhood home (Middleham Castle, North Yorkshire) I still believe he should have been reinterred in York Minster, but I'll settle for just knowing where he is.
Bless you .a wonderful gesture.
ALL Americans are descendants of some Royal or other (if not Irish), I would have as much faith in American ancestry claims as I would as I would your Presidents (from what you lot say about them)
Turi King is a fantastic lecturer. Didn't feel tired or bored even for a second! Fabulous
I've watched this a couple of times. Still never boring.
That was completely enjoyable! The humor she injected throughout made it one of the best presentations I've seen. And the information was fascinating too.
Fascinating and amusing. Better by far than any of the mainstream TV programs made on the same subject,
Wow! If my lecturers had been that compelling and entertaining I would have done brilliantly at uni, I may even have attended more. That was brilliant!!
If it weren't for Dr. King's, Keen Articulation, Geniality and Sense of Humor, I don't think I would have watched the whole presentation.
Absolutely fabulous!!! Both funny & informative!! I've watched your presentation 5x now..... child social services!!! Baaahaaahaaa
Turi King - you and your team - legends!
The pic of the Queen was priceless!!
This was delightful. Educational but amusing at the same time.
Brilliant Presentation! Dr Turi King makes the story absolutely riveting complete with her own terrific humour. What a lovely woman she is.
Bouncybon She is a liar.
@@izzieandavadanuggets9325 Where's your expertise on DNA and archaeology from? Were you there?
What a brilliant presentation! Would have loved to have Dr. King as a professor! :D
What a delightful lecture from a North American Cannuk . She took heavy figures and made us enthused and entertained. I don’t recall where she teaches but she deserves a promotion and a raise.
Thank you for the up lead!
Turi, you speak beautifully and your humour is the ingredient that makes an otherwise boring a data-packed scientific presentation so delightful to listen to and so easy to remember. Well done! Outstanding
I do believe in nominative determinism, at least a little. I worked at a small American law school for over a decade, and we had a lot of professors and students with the initials J.D. (Juris Doctor).
That photo of Queen Elizabeth flattened me. I was giggling for several minutes after that.
Brilliant presentation. Thank you for sharing it!
I was floored when she said the car park was near "child protective services". The universe will always fing a way to balance itself. ;)
Outstanding presentation. Informative and fun.
Loved this lecture!! Great humor too!
I love her. Lol from being the genealogist for the initial project, she seemed to always be excited.❤️ she’s so fun. lol - and very intelligent.
This was an exiting, and good lesson about the finding and solving of the Richard III case. She is really good ;) And spoke in a way that everyone can understand ;) Thanks for sharing ;)
Love this. And the hats . . . that is archaeology humour at its best.
History is one of my favorite subjects, and it is very interesting to hear about what happened to King Richard 111. Also where his mortal remains are after the Church had been destroyed by Henry the V111.
This is outstanding , very informative love the sense of humor , Thank you !
What a wonderful lecture!!!! Turi King you have such an amazing presenting style!!!
The lecture was fantastic. Both informative and entertaining. Very interesting
I wish I had the chance to be at this lecture. An excellent presentation loved it
I missed hearing Turi King at the Guild of One-Name studies (www.one-name.org) DNA seminar on Saturday (15th Aug 2016). This was a very engaging presentation & I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Fascinating story, great research, and incredibly engaging speaker as well. :-)
I love the old Medieval Kings and Quueens.
They stood no nonsense, ruthless and ruled England with an iron rod. 😊😊
Very interesting and fun. Congratulations!!
Great! I am glad I watched it.
R Dom's comments are too serious in my view. This was a fantastic and brilliant lecture! Great to have some innocent but hillariously funny humour thrown in too. What could have been a very heavy lecture was made so enjoyable and easy to follow for all. Fascinating to listen to how all the evidence was gathered together by all these very clever people who will I'm sure never forget these amazing experiences!
Indeed, for a general lecture, one needs to combine levity with the serious science. Joking in some parts actually can help the listener retain technical aspects of the talk. A lot of scientists can't pull off the two well in public speaking. Dr. King manages both seamlessly, really. Perhaps a bit of an ordering problem of her comments over getting Michael Ibsen's DNA sample but I don't see much else. And even on that pt, the audience kinda knows what she means to convey.
Excellent, bloody funny too ☺
Wow DR Ashton-Hill is owed a huge thanks on all fronts including DNA! I'm so glad no one's ripping off this work and pretending he doesn't exist or making a mockery of Phillips because without her, without both of them there would've been no discovery but because of their hard work and his research it looks like a lot of people are taking credit... and pretending they don't exist. It's amazing that the DNA discovery and Hardwork was worked out before the University of L stopped ignoring Dr Ashton-Hill's requests to help. But wow when it came to taking credit....
Great doco by the most entertaining (and sweet) presenter - two thumbs up! Australia
That was an outstanding presentation.
I just found out today that my daughter received results from her DNA test and was told she was related to King Richard III through my mother, who also was born in 1926 as Mr. Ibsen's mother was. How many relatives have been found thus far, as I have siblings as well who would be related to him, not to mention my children and their children. I would imagine it is probably a considerable number of relatives since the DNA test seems to be becoming more and more popular.
Wonderful presentation. Al Ferry Al Karon
John Ashdown-Hill (RIP dear man) had been working on the location of the burial and DNA of Richard III for several years prior to the project. Why isn’t he mentioned in the team? He even found the relatives long before the dig. All very unfair to this brilliant man.
Actually, John Ashdown-Hill debunked the White/Blue Boar inn story. The washing hag is an Irish/Scottish legend that was inserted in the story. John also was the man who convinced the City of Leicester to install the modern plaque on the River Soar bridge debunking the 19th century plaque claiming that the king's bones were thrown into the river. Richard Buckley knew very little about the architecture of Medieval friery. Again, John, who was an expert on that topic, recommended where to dig. It was Phillipa Langley who told the crew to unearth the skeleton whose legs were exposed on Day 1. Leicester University was a barrier to several things regarding the dig. Richard Buckley was renovating his kitchen and was not present when the skeleton was fully exposed. He had to be called to travel to the site from his home. He, and other authorities in the university, then tried to eliminate the huge contributions of the Looking for Richard Project, because the university and the City saw a money making opportunity and, in the case of the former entity, prestige as well. That means investor attraction. Also, guess who did the extensive work to find a living decendent from Richard III's sister, Anne? John Ashdown-Hill. He traced this line to Joy Ibsen (Michael's mother) in April 2004, eight years before the university did anything. Granted, he was asked to do so to help his Belgian colleagues identify Richard III's sister, Margaret (she's still missing); but, let's give credit where credit's due.
I love how she says “Skeletal.”
Talks a bit fast but very interesting.
brillient
and Leicester did something amazing that season. they won the premiere league
For a Canadian, she has quite a few words that sound very Irish.
Fascinating.
Ok how do I send DNA ,our family tree goes back to Elizabeth Woodville Richard is uncle ......or is it too late to find link .??????so many questions
When was the badge at 14..11 invented with the 2 boars and a immitation robe cord running around the perimeter? it looks like the cord has 3 knots at 3 o'clock 6 and 9 representing the 3 vows, chastity, poverty and obedience or something similar .It seems to stem from the order of the knights of St Anthony, but the saints robe cord depiction idea goes back much further. The blue boar could be because St Anthonys Tau cross was in blue, back in history. The floor tile looks Bavarian maybe there was some military aspect to greyfriars.
long live King Richard
this is my ancestor , and as a King could be hers to i have relations called King THAT ARE DECENDED FROM HIS ,i am not sure how you feel about this , and if you believe he killed my little cousins , people say of RICHARD HE WAS GOOD OF HEART , and look at the evidence of his rule what he tried to do for the people , i do not believe Richard would have killed his brothers sons , the brothers were very close , this is also in evidence and that Richard fought hard for his brother is un deniable , i choose to believe my ancestor could not be too far from like me in personality as i so closely resemble him in looks and one side of me is slightly smaller than the other that causes me to have a back issue , and a slight hump , nothing like Richards degree , poor him , i know the pains i suffer he must have been in greet pain all the time and no real pain meds then , though funny enough they say he was very active , i find my pain much reduced by long walks , though at the end of it i am in greet pain once i sit down and the hormones kick in, the pain goes , i love Richard and refute the tudor claim to the throne and it appears that god agreed with me , their line after all is gone , annd i have a lot of dna cousins , i know some are tudor , as is one of my lines , i descend from many royal lines , i am going deaf and suffer massive depressions , i now know many of the royal houses i come from do too , the deafness is battenberg though , poor Alice ....this is me , just in case you think me deluded ...facebook.com/Jitaamesuluma, well i might be deluded but not about this , lol
Philipa Langley found her not the Universities
Give credit to History Cold Case at University at Dundee Sue Black and her team for determining the skeleton was that of Richard III. Project Richard III took down that episode and buried Black’s groundbreaking work. It is absolutely shameful. I cannot watch this stolen work.
Professor Dame Sue Black only did 8 episodes of "History Cold Case" (none of them related to Richard III). She hated doing "History Cold Case" (but the University she worked at got money). She Vowed NEVER to do it again. -- Please double check your source.
1:50 sais vikings and shows a person with a horned helm
Lol
I know it's not the main subject but blatant misinformation lol
How tall Richard 3 is?
5'9"
on another doc, they said he would've been 5'8" if he didn't have scoliosis
She's quite funny!
"QUITE"! Evidently, you need to have your mirth-level tested at hospital.
richard is involved to find Richard.. the end
Stop BASHING the UK weather wise making out it is always cold and damp! Canada is tropical I guess, we have hot summers and moderate rainfall
Where did you get the money to pay for all those degrees???? Congrats!
If you find out would you be kind enough to let me know. The cost of text books these days is something chronic.
Well, once you graduate with a bachelor's degree, if you have distinguished yourself, a grad school will want you to come and the good ones will give you financial incentive to do so. They can waive tuition, have you tutor or teach for a stipend or find another way for you to get by. I'm sure by the time Dr. King got associated with Cambridge and Leicester, they had started to compensate her. I'm sure she was paid to be a member of this team, too. Rightly so, too. And with her publications and invitations to speak, she gets some funds, too.
A bit of a whitewash on Richard's rise to the throne.
It's not relevant to the search, though, is it? Second, she's not a historian.
Jo Appleby was really disagreable, condescending and disrespectful during the search.
How do you figure? Seems to me she was no-nonsense and extremely cautious, as one should expect from a scientist. She may be used to ppl who think like her and scientists are not known for having glittering social skills but I think this is unfair. She can't emote and do her job. Phillipa Langley can, but you want someone like Dr. Appleby working on unearthing human remains.
@@lisakaz35 totally agree. If you see the original documentary, The King in the Carpark, Jo Appleby was an arrogant snotty bitch. She was completely disrespectful to Philippa Langley throughout. Now, Philippa is a highly emotional woman and she’d drive me nuts, but she deserves great respect for making this whole discovery happen.
@@XxBloggs I'm not trying to diss Ms. Langley since it's not her job to be a scientist dispassionately sifting through the site. It's true they have completely different vantage points on the project, which can cause problems relating to the other. To me neither is right or wrong since it helps each pursue this project to a fulfilling conclusion. My only gripe with Appleby was how with Langley she seemed to use a very non-medical term in describing the spine of the late king. She should have stated it appeared to be an extreme case of scoliosis, not any reference to hunchback or the like.
i worked in Langster, Fortworth where copss pull over my shop and ask do u know dope seller.. i be like i dont know thte meaning of dope.. all i know is dove.. fuckers after laughing.. they mean drugs.. oh lord
Turi talks much too fast.
RICHARD IS NOT DEAD , as long as one person remains that carries his dna , he lives and believe me i have a LOT of siblings and a massive amount of cousins , he lives on were as the tudors only have descendants of the one descent tudor there was left , or rather Henry the 7ths direct line , only one remains of it , Margaret Tudors line , also my line , i also descend from James 1st of england 6th of scotland , yes i know , bit much and its doing nothing for me , well nothing good
Enough about you, may we hear about the other King? 5 minute introduction to your academia is a bit ex excessive dont we think?
I think it was nice she included her credentials. Would you rather have some to-bit salesman tell you he ID'ed a King of England with a jar of shoe polish? -- She told her qualifications to add strength to her part in the Project.
@@LadyFigment I get it. Thank you, I agree with you... 😊 rather than deleting my comment at the risk of sound like a Karen.
