CSI: Italian Renaissance (Knight's skeletal analysis)

This is an article I read in a doctor's waiting room in July of last year. I found it fascinating and it stayed with me. This morning, I managed to find it online.

CSI: Italian Renaissance

I mention it here because one of the skeletons analyzed by the forensic pathologist interviewed in the article is a knight in his 30s. He mentions bone wear and conditions specific to knights, which made me wonder if the same wear and conditions might be present in Richard's bones.

I guess we'll just have to wait for the Lancet articles promised by Leicester University to find out.

A fantastic article! I am sure Fornaciari could do much better than Leicester University... It seems that Richard had 2 vertebrae with arthritis and this matches perfectly with what Fornaciari said for Cangrande.
