"beyond reasonable doubt the individual exhumed at Grey Friars on September 12th is indeed Richard III, the last Plantagenet king of England"
King Richard III was the king of England for 2 years until he died at the battle of Bosworth, which ended the War Of The Roses. Shakespeare wrote a tragedy about him and he's well known for apparently murdering two princes in the Tower of London, so that he could become king.
Anyway, last September remains of a skeleton where found during an excavation of an old monastery/church site under a car-park in Leicester. It was believed to be King Richard, scientists studied the bones and also matched the DNA from the skeleton to that of one of Richards descendants to confirm (beyond reasonable doubt) that it is him!
The remains are over 500 years old.
