Uncover the truth behind a king's final days and the groundbreaking discovery that rewrote history.
The Last Days of Richard III offers a uniquely detailed exploration of Richard III's last 150 days, revealing a king actively pursuing his own agenda, not passively awaiting defeat. By avoiding hindsight, a new Richard emerges. This re-examines the aftermath of Bosworth: the treatment of Richard's body, his burial, and the construction of his tomb.
Now, with the discovery of Richard's skeleton at the Greyfriars Priory in Leicester, England, John Ashdown-Hill explains how his research inspired the dig and completes Richard III's fascinating story, giving details of how Richard died, and how the DNA link to a living relative of the king allowed the royal body to be identified.
