Researchers were also able to provide details of how the last Plantagenet king died. They believe Richard died from a blow to the base of the skull, possibly from a halberd, at very close range. He could have also died from a sword wound that slashed through the bone and into his brain. Many other injuries were received after death, like one to his ribs. Researchers believe Richard's body was also defiled after his death, as it sustained injuries consistent to it being slung over a horse and abused. Richard III's skeleton was found buried in a shallow grave with no coffin or shroud. SOURCE: Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Mail, BBC\n
