King Richard The Third

'A Horse A Horse My Kingdom For A Horse.' That was according to William Shakespeare in his Play Richard The Third. It is now known that he did not say those words as penned by The Bard During Richards Fatal Battle of Bosworth Field in Leicestershire. 1485 Shakespeare also wrote that Richard was an ugly hunchback. In fact he suffered from a condition called Scoliosis, which is an abnormal curvature of the spine. For years there has been speculation as to where Richards body was buried. During 2012 his remains were found under a School car park. At the time of Richards death it was the site of a monastery called Greyfriars. His Remains will be reinterred at Leicester Cathedral during March of 2015. The building you see behind the statue is the School where Greyfriars Church once stood. To the bottom right of this building is the car park where Richards remains lay for 500 years. It is now a covered exhibition centre.
