The Royal Courts of Justice ruled that Richard III should be reburied in York . In bringing its case , the Alliance objected to the lack of consultation over where the newly-rediscovered monarch 's bones should be laid to rest , saying more thought should have been given to the question . The king 's remains were discovered in summer 2012 under a parking lot . The archeologists who disinterred the remains suggested a burial in York Cathedral . A legal challenge was brought by a group which said he should be reburied in York .
