"A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been
confirmed as that of English king Richard III.
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family."
Richard was killed in the battle of Bosworth in 1485 but his grave was lost when the church around it was demolished in the 16th Century.

The man has one of the worst reputations amongst English kings. Scolars are still fighting about whether he was the vilain history depicted.
