Discussion points
- Richard the Third was killed in the Battle of Bosworth and his body was thought to be lost.
- In 2012, the Richard III Society raised funds for an archaeological dig to try and discover the body of the medieval king.
- They wanted to restore his reputation that was ruined by the Tudor victors and later by a Shakespearean play "Richard III".
- The site where they believed the body to be was the Church of the Grey Friars in Leicester - long since gone and under a modern council car park.
- The first hole they dug discovered the king straight away, although they didn't know it at first! Even stranger was that there was an R painted on the car park in that spot!
- The body was proved definitively to by Richard III by DNA analysis and was able to tell scientists and historians a lot about how he lived and died.
