Final resting place of Richard III

Birgit MaaßMarch 19, 2015

King Richard III is not only the villain of Shakespeare fame but England's last monarch from the House of York. After his defeat in battle, his body was unceremoniously buried in a common grave and then forgotten. In 2012 the remains of the king were found under a parking lot. Now Richard will get a proper burial in Leicester Cathedral.
