English Car Park Where Remains Of Richard III Were Found Declared A Monument

A car park in the English city of Leicester, where the remains of King Richard III were discovered five years ago, is now a protected monument.

Specifically, the location has been given scheduled monument status and described as “one of the most important sites in [the U.K.’s] … national history.”

Richard III famously met his fate on Aug. 22, 1485, at the climactic Battle of Bosworth, which ended the War of the Roses and ushered in England’s House of Tudor.
