I have spent months working out the true story behind #TheLostKing. What was it that made a UK university cut loose the person who most deserved the credit for finding #RichardIII?

Thread. 2/n When the #UniversityofLeicester announced in Feb 2013 that they had the evidence to show they had found #RichardIII, they gave #PhilippaLangley the least possible credit. They put her last at their big press conference, after 13 speakers, long after the big announcement.
