The Bones of a King presents the official behind-the-scenes story of the Greyfriars dig and the subsequent archaeological and scientific analyses, drawing throughout on the research of the specialists directly involved in the discovery. Featuring numerous photographs of the king's remains and the dig site, The Bones of a King brings to life the Leicester team's journey from dig to identification, showcasing the work of experts from archaeologists to geneticists in this landmark event in British history. The Bones of a King presents the details of Richard's life, health, diet and death, as well as the wider archaeological and historical settings of the events leading up to his burial in Grey Friars church.
