My kingdom for a horse: Richard III speaks again
In November, scientists revealed what they believed King Richard III sounded like.
Richard III was king of England from 1483 until his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, age 32. His remains were discovered in a car park in Leicester in 2012.
Researchers spent the last decade researching the monarch's voice and presented their findings to an excited audience.
Vocal coach Yvonne Morley-Chisholm said the project, called A Voice For King Richard III, first came about as after-dinner entertainment at a conference for vocal coaches. His voice was re-created by Professor David Crystal, a leading linguist in 15th Century pronunciation.
Yvonne Morley-Chisholm spoke to 成人快手 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
