Richard III: Voice from the Past

Using advanced technology, scientists have recreated the voice of the infamous King Richard III, revealing a Yorkshire accent.

This incredible project involved years of research by experts from various disciplines, including archaeology and speech therapy.

A digital avatar, based on painstaking facial reconstruction, allows us to ‘hear’ the king speak words after centuries of silence.

This unique approach offers new insights into the life and reign of this significant, yet controversial, historical figure.
