Happy Halloween! When someone dies and is laid to rest we tend to think of them as gone. But their remains may remain waiting to play a further part in history. For your consideration, here are three twisted tales about royals whose earthly vessels were not left in peace. One involves an exhumation done out of love, one done out of hate and the final exhumation may hold the key to solving a centuries old murder mystery.

1. Inês de Castro, Posthumous Queen of Portugal – All Hail the Corpse Queen!

2. Oliver Cromwell – He killed King and his corpse paid the price!

3. Richard III and the Princes in the Tower – Centuries of propaganda and Cold-case murders
