- Synopsis
- In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester.
  The search had been orchestrated by an Edinburgh housewife, Philippa Langley, and the discovery was the culmination of years of obsessive research, during which she had faced the incomprehension of friends and family and the scepticism of experts and academics. THE LOST KING is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored, dismissed and overlooked, who took on the country’s most eminent historians and forced them to think again about one of the most infamous kings in England’s history.
