It’s 500 years since Richard III’s remains were lost.  Archaeologists dug up this parking lot after suggestions it could be the site of his grave, and they believe a skeleton they found is that of the former king.

(Taylor) “Today, we bear witness to history.  We peer into medieval times and literally reach into a grave.”

Richard Taylor with researchers at the University of Leicester, calling the discovery astonishing.  They analyzed the skeleton’s bone structure and conducted DNA tests with help from a distant relative.
