A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III.
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch’s family.
Richard was killed in battle in 1485 but his grave was lost when the church around it was demolished in the 16th Century.
The skeleton had suffered 10 injuries, including eight to the skull.
The bones, which are of a man in his late 20s or early 30s, have been carbon dated to a period from 1455-1540.
Richard was 32 when he died at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
