The film ‘The Lost King’ has renewed interest about King Richard lll – one of England’s most controversial monarchs – who died in battle in 1485. Was he really as villainous as he’s made out to be? There’s no definitive proof he ordered the deaths of his nephews the ‘Princes in the Tower.’ How far has he been the victim of fake news?
The King’s exact burial spot was unknown for hundreds of years, until the extraordinary discovery of his body in a Leicester car park in 2012.
Judge Richard lll for yourself – by hearing stories of his life in London. How he made his grab for the throne of England at the expense of his nephews, who later disappeared from view. Learn about the causes and vital reforms he cared about during his short reign. Discover how the monarch’s reputation was systematically damaged after his death.
