Description
The King's Grave: The Search for Richard III
Now with a new chapter, this book tells the official inside story of the life, death, and remarkable discovery of history's most controversial monarch. Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field in 1485, and his body was displayed in undignified fashion before being buried in the church of the Greyfriars. Fifty years later, his grave was lost, and his reputation was buried under a mound of propaganda.
The King's Grave traces this remarkable journey, revealing the inside story of the search for Richard's grave and the life and death of the king. Historian Michael Jones and archaeologist Philippa Langley share their insights, allowing a complete re-evaluation of our most controversial monarch.
