When Richard lll ruled England there was a war going on over the throne, it was known as the War of the Roses. His army was defeated and Richard lll was killed in battle and the crown was taken over by King Henry Vll. Since 1485, no one was sure where Richard lll’s body was buried, but records showed he may have been laid to rest by Franciscan Monks at their church 100 miles north of London.

They had come upon what they thought were the remains of King Richard III, who died fighting the forces of Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. He is the last English monarch to die during war.
