Royal Recovery Remains ID'd As Those of King Richard III

"Remains found under what's now a parking lot in the English city of Leicester have been confirmed to be those of King Richard III, researchers at the University of Leicester announced today."

"NPR's Philip Reeves tells our Newscast Desk that the skeleton of the ruler immortalized by William Shakespeare was identified thanks to a DNA match with a distant relative. The 15th century warrior king, as All Things Considered reminded us last Septemberwhen word emerged that his long-lost remains may have been recovered, was killed at the Battle of Bosworth. He was about 32 at the time."
