Now with the discovery of Richard's skeleton at the Greyfrairs Priory in Leicester England John Ashdown - Hill explains how his book inspired the dig and completes Richard III's fascinating story giving details of how Richard died and how the DN a link to a living relative of the king allowed the royal body to be identified.
