About The Author | Philippa Langley (Author) Philippa Langley inaugurated the quest for King Richard III's lost grave as part of her ongoing research into history's most controversial monarch. Her project marked the first-ever search for the grave of an anointed King of England, and was made into the acclaimed TV documentary The King in the Car Park for Channel 4. She is a screenwriter and the secretary of the Scottish Branch of the Richard III Society.Michael Jones (Author) Michael Jones was awarded a history PhD by Bristol University and subsequentlytaught at Glasgow University and Winchester College. He is a fellowof the Royal Historical Society and member of the British Commission forMilitary History, and works now as a writer, media consultant and presenter.Among his historical titles he has written books on the battles of Bosworth,Agincourt, and a biography of the Black Prince. He was TV consultant for Channel 4'sRichard III: Fact or Fiction and National Geographic's Mystery Files: The Princes inthe Tower, and co-author, with Philippa Gregory and David Baldwin, of TheWomen of the Cousins' War. |
In almost the exact spot where Langley had first become convinced she was standing on top of Richard's grave, a careful flick of a trowel revealed the leg bone of what would turn out to be the remains of the king, complete with the twisted, scoliosis spine so compellingly placed centre stage by Shakespeare. Now the remarkable story of King Richard's life and death – and the amazing journey of the intuitive woman who never gave up believing that she would one day find his body – has been brought together in this fascinating and informative book |
