After the car park king comes the cemetery sovereign. The remains of Richard III were confirmed yesterday, but archaeologists are already looking to track down the next lost king: Alfred the Great, reputedly buried in an unmarked grave in Winchester.
Leicester University announced that DNA tests had established “beyond reasonable doubt” that they had found the body of the last of the Plantagenets, the 15th-century king killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
