From the Leicester Mercury
The mystery has baffled historians for centuries – what became of the remains of Richard III?
Folklore and many history books claim that the king’s bones were dug up and hurled into the River Soar some 50 years after his death in 1485.
Others contend that they remain where they were laid.
Archaeologists may get the chance to find out when they excavate the site of the former Greyfriars Church, in St Martins, Leicester.
