King Richard III's Coffin Arrives at Leicester Cathedral

Richard III's austere oak coffin was carried to Leicester Cathedral this past weekend in preparation for the king's reburial. When the medieval monarch was first laid to rest, in 1485, his naked body was placed in a hastily dug grave under the floor of Grey Friars monastery in Leicester, England. Grey Friars was demolished and then covered up by centuries of development, until archaeologists from the University of Leicester relocated it in 2012, and astoundingly uncovered Richard's grave beneath a parking lot. This week, Richard, the last king of the House of York , is being reburied with all the pomp and circumstance of a royal funeral.
