Question: The location of King Richard III's tomb in England is in the car park

King Richard III, the last king of the British royal family, ruled England from 1483 until he was defeated in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

To begin the search for the ancient tomb, experts from Leicester University searched the land around a church, which was believed to be buried by King Richard III over 500 years ago. And that land is currently being used as a City Council parking lot.

Historians initially assumed that the battle took place on Ambion Hill, near Sutton Cheney, Leics, and a stone monument believed to mark King Richard III's death. However, the exact location of the battlefield remains the subject of debate for centuries.

King Richard III's body is believed to have been brought to Leicester and buried in the church of Franciscan Seminary. But the exact location of the church was gradually lost over time and there were rumors that the king's remains could be thrown into the Soar after the monasteries dissolved. Experts hope to erase rumors, discover the church and the remains of King Richard III.

Richard Buckley, co-curator of archeology at the university, said: 'The big question for us is the location of the church and the burial place of the king. Although it is a big challenge to find the king's remains, we will do our best. Based on previous findings and recognized church location, one possibility is to find the grave in this area. ' If the remains are found, they will be taken to DNA tests at universities to confirm that they are indeed King Richard III.

The field where supposedly King Richard III was killed

The key to the location of the Bosworth battle was a medieval armory found, including a silver boar-shaped badge, believed to be one of the trusted knights. King Richard's side was with him until the last moment. This badge is the symbol of King Richard III and is an important proof to find the exact location of the battle. Other evidence such as Europe's largest collection of cannonballs, and armor pieces are also used to confirm the area of ​​search.

The Richard III club was founded to promote research on this medieval king who was also involved in the project. Philippa Langley from the club said: 'Research on King Richard's grave is only one element in the effort to continue research to discover the truth about King Richard III. After his defeat, his reputation was greatly defiled under the hands of successors and rivals. The challenge here is to flip the truth behind the myths. Richard is an image that attracts great interest. Partly because he was smeared for centuries and partly because he occupied an important position in British history. '
