From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Bob Carlson, and this is Unfictional.

Unfictional is KCRW's program of stories and original documentaries. It's a part of the independent

producer project and today on the program the answer to a 400 year old mystery

found in a parking lot. What you do when you excavate a skeleton is you sort of do the peripheral bits first, the head,

the arms, the legs, the easy bits to excavate the less fiddly bits and you sort of work into the torso with the ribs the vertebrae and everything.

The story begins in 1485 when a legendary and ruthless warrior king is killed in battle.

The remains buried in a church tomb. The church later demolished and a city moves on. New buildings are built and new roads, new generations.

But on this program Luke has the whole episode to tell the story of one of the most famous figures of both history and literature

and the people who found him over 400 years after his death.
