Archaeologists believe they may have finally found the precise burial site of Richard III - under a car park used for Leicester City Council offices.
Experts from the University of Leicester are starting the first attempt to uncover the royal's remains this weekend.
Historical records indicate that Richard, who was king for two years, was buried in a Franciscan Friary known as Greyfriars.
But the monastery was partly destroyed under Henry VIII.
In studying historical maps, researchers say the most likely location for the burial site is under the council's land, right in the city centre.
The experts, who will be at the site for two-weeks, will be using ground-penetrating radar to determine the best spots to dig.
