Richard III’s story
27th March 2026 by | Uncategorized
For over five hundred years, Richard III’s story was shaped by Shakespeare, politics, and Tudor propaganda. His physical appearance, his reputation, and even the location of his burial remained the subject of debate.
Then, in 2012, everything changed.
The discovery of remains beneath a car park in Leicester led to one of the most remarkable breakthroughs in historical science. A multidisciplinary investigation followed — combining archaeology, osteology, and DNA analysis.
The skeleton revealed a man with severe scoliosis, challenging the long-held image of a grotesquely deformed tyrant.
Most significantly, mitochondrial DNA was matched to living descendants of Richard’s sister, Anne of York. This work, led by geneticist Professor Turi King, with whom I have been in contact, confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt that the remains were indeed those of Richard III.
The injuries told their own story:
Multiple perimortem wounds, including fatal blows to the skull
Evidence consistent with a violent death in battle
No signs of healing, indicating these injuries were sustained at or around the time of death.
These findings aligned precisely with contemporary accounts of the Battle of Bosworth Field, where Richard III was killed — the last English king to die in battle.
For once, history was not rewritten by opinion — but clarified through evidence.
So help me do the same for the two York princes.
