In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester.

The Lost King is the lifea rming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England’s history.
