"Body found under parking lot is
King Richard III, scientists prove":
British scientists announced Monday
they are convinced "beyond reasonable doubt" that a skeleton found
during an archaeological dig in Leicester, central England, last August
is that of the former king, who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth
Field in 1485.
Mitochondrial DNA
extracted from the bones was matched to Michael Ibsen, a Canadian
cabinetmaker and direct descendant of Richard III's sister, Anne of
York.
Experts say other
evidence -- including battle wounds and signs of scoliosis, or curvature
of the spine, found during the search and the more than four months of
tests since support the DNA findings.
