Serious evidence that a skeleton found under a parking lot belongs to English king Richard the 3rd was announced by scientists using DNA tests. However, this brings up questions about the origin of some of the royal successors.

The bones were discovered in 2012 in Leicester, and now, scientists divulged the first results, claiming that they actually do belong to the 15th century British King, including the findings of his curved spine and trauma that caused his death.

Richard was the last English King, who died on the battlefield in 1485.

Comparing the DNA from the skeleton with samples from living relatives of Richard, on his father’s side, discovered no identification, a fact that may throw doubts over the origins of some of the royal family.

Although researchers cannot safely say at which point the “cheating” took place, they claim that their findings raise questions about the legitimacy of Henry the 5th, Henry the 6th and the whole Tudor dynasty.

Other scientists, however, argue that the current royal family, which comes from the Tudor lineage should not worry.

Researchers note that it is the first time that there is substantial evidence that throws doubt over the medieval line of succession to the monarchy.
