He gained battles in vain, would have given his Kingdom for a horse, but at least he can now be buried with honour.

Although I like to think that I can hear the voice of Blackadder saying "So burying him under a car park was your cunning plan, was it Baldrick?" ;D
I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley!

Could have been worse, he could have had a privy built on top of his remains.

I think that would have been Baldrick's cunning plan, all told.
The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

As someone who lives in Leicester, I reckon that he actually died while waiting for a parking space.
"The expression of polite horror on her face as it fell past mine, plus the sound of air whistling out of the top of her head, made me feel really crap."
