One of England’s last Catholic kings has been reburied three years after his skeleton was discovered in a coffin beneath a car park.
King Richard III – the last monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty and the last English king to die in battle – was originally buried by Franciscan friars in Leicester, after he was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
The priory was dissolved during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century and it was widely believed that the king’s bones had been thrown into a river.
But excavation work on the site of the priory in 2012 unearthed the remains, and on Thursday they were re-interred in Leicester Cathedral after five days of commemorations.
