Summary

The death of a British monarch is a very big event. Thousands of people may take part in the funeral and procession, with millions more lining up to pay their respects and billions more watching on television. This didn’t always use to be the case, however. In particular, there was one English King who not only didn’t get an elaborate funeral, no one knew exactly where his body was for over 500 years. Learn more about the body of King Richard III and how it was lost and then discovered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
