Description

#britishroyals #truehistory #richardiii #ancientdna #historymystery A king buried under a parking lot for 527 years. Then his DNA turned up a break in the royal family tree that no historian could explain. In 2012, Richard III's skeleton was found in Leicester. His mother's line matched a living relative perfectly. His father's line matched nobody it was supposed to. Somewhere across 19 generations, a recorded father was not the biological father. We follow the evidence from the car park to the lab, test the famous rumours against the biology, and show what the break could mean for the Tudors and the Yorks. Based on peer-reviewed research in Nature Communications and the University of Leicester's findings. #richardiii #dnaevidence #medievalhistory #britishroyals #forensicscience #historydocumentary
