10 British Kings Buried In Unusual Places

King Richard III had suffered the ignominy of being buried in a churchyard that would eventually become a car park for more 500 years - but, after his body was exhumed in 2012, the final Plantagenet monarch of England has been given his final resting place at the Cathedral in Leicester, the city in which he was discovered. After being killed by Henry Tudor's (latterly King Henry VII's) Lancastrian forces at the Battle of Bosworth Hill in Leicestershire on August 22, 1485, Richard III's 26-month reign came to an end - as did the 30-year Wars of the Roses, with the final viable member of the House of York eliminated. Buried hastily and without pomp at the Church of the Grey Friars in Leicester, Richard III's tomb was destroyed during the Reformation and his remains became lost for five centuries before the discovery underneath the car park in 2012. But Richard III's unceremonious original resting place is hardly rare for British kings - with monarchs down the years interred in some bizarre and undignified locations. Some former British kings have seen their corpses dismembered and sent to various locations, some have seen their resting places destroyed by a future monarch during the Reformation, while another has even had his body exhumed and posthumously hanged. So here 10 weird and unusual places where British Kings have been buried.
