In August 1485 King Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, brought back to Leicester and after a lying in state for a few days was buried by the Grey Friars, a Franciscan Holy order, in their friary church.
In August 2012, 527 years to the day that King Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, Leicester City Council, the University of Leicester, and the Richard III Society began the archaeological dig for the ‘Looking for Richard’ project, a search underneath a council car park in Leicester, to find King Richard III’s remains and the Grey Friars Church. The archaeologists uncovered not only the old Greyfriars church, but a skeleton with battle wounds and a curved spine. After careful scientific examination of the remains the University announced to the World Press in February 2013 that the skeleton found was indeed Richard III.
Take a walk with us through the life, death and rediscovery of King Richard III as you explore the sites in Leicester with close links to the Lost King.
