The Fellowship of the White Boar evolved (-5[1])into the chief society dedicated to protecting this king’s reputation from the traditionally negative “Tudor myth.” This king’s namesake society funded the 2012 excavation of the former Greyfriars Priory (10[1])in Leicester (LES-ter), which turned up his skeleton.
