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. The Bones of a King presents the official behind-the-scenes
story of the Grey Friars dig from the team of specialists who
discovered and identified his remains * The most extensive and
authoritative book written for non-specialists by the expert team
who discovered and analysed the remains of Richard III * Features
more than 40 illustrations, maps and photographs * Builds an
expansive view of Richard's life, death and burial, as well as
accounts of the treatment of his body prior to burial, and his
legacy in the public imagination from the time of his death to the
present * Explains the scientific evidence behind his
identification, including DNA retrieval and sequencing, soil
samples, his wounds and his scoliosis, and what they reveal about
his life, his health and even the food he ate * A behind-the-scenes
look at one of the most exciting historical discoveries of our time
