Abstract
In 1485 King Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth and his body was buried in the Grey Friars church in Leicester. When it was announced in 2012 that his remains had been identified, many sceptics raised concerns that we had the wrong skeleton. Here we present the evidence for the identification and subsequent analysis, and what we now know about the life and death of the last English king to die in battle.
