Sometimes things go missing. Every once in a while they show up again.
Richard III was the last Plantagenet ruler of England and the last king from the House of York. He was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field, and buried without much pomp and circumstance in Leicester in 1485. During the Reformation, Richard III's monument was removed. It was assumed that his remains were thrown into the river, lost to history. However, in 2012, an archaeological dig was conducted in a parking lot which was once the churchyard. A skeleton was found with physical malformations that matched contemporary descriptions of the missing King, and DNA tests confirmed that it was, indeed, Richard III. His remains were reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.
