The skeletal remains of King Richard 111, who died in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 but had been missing ever since, were uncovered last September in the remains of Grey Friars Church, Leicester, England. A social services car par had been built on the spot. DNA tests showed a direct match with two distant relatives of the monarch, while studies of the skeleton showed 10 battle-related injuries and also King Richard’s famous curved spine. Historical texts put him laid to rest in the church and that the skeleton’s height and adjudged age at death matched. Leicester University said it was beyond any reasonable doubt that the skeleton was that of the last Plantagenet king.
