Archaeologists scan Reading garden for bones of King Henry I

Researchers look for tomb of William the Conqueror's fourth son, whose remains are believed to have been buried in local abbey

"He's there all right, resting quietly, and when they find him we'll be looking for great things from the football team," O'Shea said, pondering the astonishing success of Leicester's footballing Foxes since their king rose again.
