Parhaps testing DNA from Richard III father, son with Richard III. That would be then correct.

Brilliant. Having this kind of material available to view for free is, in my opinion, the best and highest use of the internet.

Very well done. But further research is making it likely that the "assumption" that Richard III -- or anyone else -- had his young nephews murdered in the Tower of London will have to undergo serious reconsideration!

Professor King is such an excellent lecturer! I've known a lot of people in the sciences, it's not that common to find someone who's both a good professional scientist and a good professional interpreter of science for lay people. The latter takes so much time and energy that most scientists don't want to do it, even if they have the skills, and even though it's so important.

This was absolutely fascinating. Professor King is a wonderful presenter, natural and humorous while being incredibly knowledgeable. My favorite part was her worries about spilling the genetic beans when telling one of the possible descendants that their parentage wasn’t what they thought.

I still find it crazy how they found and identified his remains, and everything they were able to learn from them.

The sheer luck of him not being under a building or disturbed by the Victorians or anything else that’s happened there in the past 500 years…

I live in Leicester and was blessed to stand in the city centre, close to the cathedral, and paid my respects as King Richard passed by on the carriage. I subsequently was able to walk right behind the carriage right up to the Cathedral. I feel forever humbled by the experience.

Wow! What a journey the people who were part of the Richard III team went on! I remember watching the “funeral” service for Richard and thinking how amazing it was that the bones of a once living breathing king from over 500 years ago were found and definitely identified as being him. If the bones had somehow been found 20 or more years ago there wouldn’t have been the scientific breakthroughs that would’ve allowed team to definitely identify them as Richards’s. The excavation was lucky that it was the right time and right place to find him!

When I had first heard about how they had the full armor reenactment, I actually wasn't surprised by the results. When I was in high school I had a friend who had some scoliosis. Likely from always wearing a heavy backpack on one shoulder. I have a steel boned corset that she liked borrowing and she said that when she wore it she had less back pain because of the support.

Well, I found the lecture a bit late in the game, although I have a feeling Richard won't mind a bit, seeing as he hung about for 500 yrs. Wonderful lecture by a brilliant scientist and speaker. Thank you very much for sharing this with the world.

She has such an amazing sense of humor. It's a joy to listen to her and one listens closely. Because one doesn't want to miss the humor.

This must be every archeologist’s dream. To be involved in a once in a generation?, millenium? discovery. Congrats to all involved. And thank you dr. King for a clear and engaging presentation of a fascinating subject.

She's so witty and down to earth, I cracked up when she said Richard had been de-feet-ed! She made this fun and interesting, she did an excellent job!!

This is such a delightful lecture. Turi King is amazing! I was riveted to it and giggling with delight at the entire tale.

What a bang up job Dr. Turi King did on this lecture. I like it when someone has knitted together a good story, and delivers it in a compelling style which she did quite nicely. Then she dips into the genetic evidence just enough that I'm glad I didn't go to learn all that stuff and then somebody else did. The bits of strands from so many different directions and his being found in a car park was a knockdown 1-2 punch that really kept the story rolling. First rate job!

This is one of the best lectures I’ve heard. I’m not a Ricardian but interestingly have an mtDNA match with Richard. Thank you for posting!

Oh this is excellent! The history, archeology, genealogy, genetics, all combined and very fascinating. Thank you for making this available on KZread.

This is just awesome from an American's point of view. England's history goes back SO, SO far and ours oh, 400 years (of course, Native American history goes back thousands of years...). And we get excited by Plymouth Rock or Williamsburg, where I think every spot in England had something historic happen there at least once. Castle ruins, battlefields like Hastings, WW2 aerodrome landing strips still visible....so much to see and learn. Thanks -- this was amazing. Seeing those nearly matched DNA sequences was just breath-taking and proved beyond doubt it was Richard. the funeral procession and burial, and the fact that Michael Ibsen, his descendant, built Richard's casket is just wonderful. I wonder what Richard would have thought if he could reappear and know this casket was made from a descendant. Very fitting indeed.

Thank you! I adored listening to Prof. Turi King she is so smart and so good at explaining complex things in a simple manner. I could listen to her all day, both her and Dame Susan Margaret Black.

I love clever people solving mysteries. Lovely lecture. Thanks for postings!

Young Dominic didn't just get kitted out in armor. He actually got himself up onto a horse and proved that Richard would have been quite effective as a fighter on horseback. Richard started training as a knight as a young boy, so while he was unable to fight on foot because of the scoliosis, on a horse he was formidable. As a Christian, he would have been eating a lot of fish due to religious dictates. As a noble, he would have got the best, certainly better than what the common folk got. So he got good quality protein that wasn't full of fat. If he had a preference to fish rather than the usual beef, venison, mutton, pork or fowl, that could account for his slighter build.

There is a video of Dominic being set up to see if Richard III could actually fight on horse back. It starred one of the Time Team regulars and showed the entire transformation of Dominic from young man to Richard III reenactor..

When I saw that this video was an hour long I hesitated to watch. I am very glad I did. Beautiful!!!

Totally facinating.. what could have been a dry subject was so well presented and easily understood. Congratulations.

I had heard bits and pieces if this story but never the whole thing. I've always wanted to know how this discovery was made and this video has answered that question. It was riveting. Thank you for making this available to the geneeral public.

This is the heart of what science and curiosity and honesty is all about. I doff my cap. 👑

This I think is one of the most FANTASTIC historical research I have EVER seen!! She is outstanding in this lecture, loved it !! She is absolutely great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an entertaining lecture - Turi King is a very good speaker, adds in humour with precise information. Well done.

It was a delight to watch your presentation on RichardIII. I love your sense of humour.

Such fun!!! We watched this lecture in my intro to forensics anthropology class and my KZread algorithm sent this video to me. I enjoyed listening to the whole lecture.

Absolutely fascinating! So happy that I found this. Can’t wait to watch followups.

That amount of luck in an excavation is like the winning lottery ticket blowing in through your window and landing in your hand just as the numbers are being announced on the telly.

I just watched "The Lost King" with the wonderful Sally Hawkins - a brilliant little film, big recommendation!

So well done Professor King. I wish my professors in college were so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. This was fascinating. Enthralling every word. Thanks.

Excellent content and presentation. Charming and enjoyable. Thank you Turi King.

I'm in Canada too. Such a great lecture!! Lectures like this make me love history!

What a fantastic detailed presentation. Exactly what is been looking for after watching some of the documentaries. Thank you Turi.

A genuine thank you to all the team that brought this lecture together. Funny, thoughtful and so well presented.

I so enjoyed this amazing story ! Thank you for sharing everything you went through to get the 500 year old answers

Well done! I really enjoyed this talk. It was not a boring lecture. Ms King is a dynamic speaker and I hope I can find more of her work on-line.

Great talk. Thank you for posting this, RI.

Professor King could do a lecture on watching paint dry and it would still be fascinating! What an amazing presenter.

This was just so very interesting. I loved her talk, and I learned so much. Just wonderful!

This was clearly a lot of work, many years of a lot of work. The way she explained everything was so clear, and very interesting; what a wry sense of humor. One thing that struck me was her accent. I knew right away that she was either Canadian or American, but that she was an ex-pat. Not knowing anything about her, or this subject matter, I was really interested in this, also given that this lecture was given some time after 2017. The cadence of her speech is not North American. The way she cuts certain syllables short, and the words that she most often might use with her UK team are said in a North American way, but with English vowels. She still hits her "R"s hard, but sounds quite Irish in how she does it. Her voice is musical in a very English way. Her speech is peppered with British English idioms, and her humor is very understated. I would have thought, from her speech alone, that she was American, but from the North East, but deeply influenced by her time in England. However, she said, at one point, that she's Canadian. There are parts of Canada which sound Irish to me, anyway. Near Labrador and Nova Scotia. I wouldn't have thought she'd be Quebecoise, but I could be wrong. I could happily listen to her teaching any subject. I clicked on this due to interest, but I listened to the whole thing (as opposed to watching it), because I could listen to her all day. I am so glad I found this very interesting lecture, one delivered so seamlessly, and so accessibly.

How impressive is Professor King! What a stunning lecture. Brilliant.

Thanks for the wonderful background information of this discovery.

This is a great presentation with scads of detail, carefully presented as to put the whole project in perspective. Turi King really knows how to make it entertaining!

What a great lecture and very entertaining. Turi King makes history come alive.

My second time watching this, not sure if I commented before, but this is the most informative, easy on the ear and entertaining presentation of the Richard III discovery) thank you Turi

I've seen several videos about the excavation of Richard III as well as his interment, and this lecture was by far the most interesting. It gives the tiniest details about the search and the testing with a lot of humor, and it was done in a way that it could be understood by anyone listening, not just people with advanced degrees.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you

30:00 Is it possible he was buried covertly and quickly so people wouldn't disturb his grave and throw his body in the river... et al? The stories about his being thrown in the river and all that may have been told to protect the ones who buried him too.

Fascinating lecture! Lots of information I've never heard before.

Great lecture. The story of the discovery is always fascinating, I’ve heard many radio and TV programmes over the years, and Tori is a superb storyteller as well as a top scientist. My 2 related ‘stories’: 1) My mother instilled a love of history in us. She’d attended Alderman Newton Girls School in the 1940s and died a few years before the discovery of Richard. She would have been THRILLED with all aspects of this, and that her old classrooms are now the Richard III Visitor Centre! 2) On the evening of Richard’s funeral in Leicester Cathedral I TRIED to watch the live TV debate between our Prime Minister David Cameron and the Leader of the opposition Ed Milliband. Out of civic duty, I guess. It was so boring that I switched over to the recorded coverage of the funeral earlier that day. It’s a sad indictment of our [then, but it’s no better now] current political discourse that the burial of a lost 500-year-old king should be more engaging ….!

I love Turi's endearing and funny personality... and even more now that I've discovered she grew up in Canada. That was fascinating!!
