  2. Who was Richard III? Born: 2 October 1452 (Fotheringhay Castle, England) Died: 22 August 1485 (At the Battle of Bosworth, Leicester, England) Reign: 26 June 1483 - 22 August 1485 Spouse: Anne Neville Richard III became King after his brother King Edward IV died. It should have been the King's son, also called Edward, who did become King after his father died, but he and his brother (Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York) went missing - people suspected that Richard was responsible for their disappearance because he was last seen with them, next, with the Princes out of the way, Richard was next in line for the throne. Richard was only King for two years before he was killed in battle, fighting against Henry Tudor, at the Battle of Bosworth. Henry Tudor then became King Henry VII. Richard's body was taken back to Leicester, and hurriedly buried in the Church of the Greyfriars. In 2012, a team of archaeologists discovered his remains underneath a car park in Leicester and he was reburied in Leicester Cathedral in 2015.
