The dramatic story of Richard III, England's last medieval king, captured the world's attention when an archaeological team led by the University of Leicester identified his remains in February 2013.“an informed, readable account, with much useful detail, that gives the historical and archaeological background to the medieval city and the king, and describes the excavations, the forensic sciences and genealogy, and the events leading up to the reburial” (British Archaeology, 1 May 2015)
