Men dressed as medieval knights pose for pictures in Leicester on Wednesday, at a site where a skeleton that researchers believe could be King Richard III was found. Researchers from the University of Leicester said they had found a male skeleton with similarities to historical descriptions of Richard, who ruled England between 1483 and his death in battle in 1485. The remains, which are well preserved, are undergoing DNA analysis.Ressearchers say a human skeleton with a cleaved skull discovered beneath a parking lot in England may belong to King Richard III, though they have a long way to go to determine the identity.
