The Last Plantagenet King of England
In the light of the recent discovery of Richard III’s remains in the ruins of the Grey Friars Chapel, under a car park, in Leicester there is now even more interest in the coins issued during his brief reign.
Richard was King of England for just two years, from 1483 until his death in the fighting at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. He was the last king of the House of York, the last of the Plantagenet dynasty and his death is sometimes regarded as marking the end of the English Middle Ages.
