Since I didn’t even know that King Richard III’s body was missing, I was rather surprised to hear that archaeologists in England think they may have found his skeleton. It makes sense that because he was killed in battle during the English civil War of the Roses that his body was not taken to London to be buried, but instead was buried somewhere near where he fell. It just hadn’t occurred to me that one of the monarchs of England had been “lost”.

They don’t know for certain yet if this is Richard III, but they are starting DNA tests.
