We Reconstructed the Voice of a Medieval King

Imagine if we could hear one of the most fascinating figures from history speak again. In this special film, Richard III expert Matthew Lewis follows a remarkable project to give Richard III back his voice and to hear and see him speak again. Forget the words put into his mouth by Shakespeare and interpreted by actors like Laurence Olivier, this is as close as we can get to how Richard spoke his own words over 500 years ago.
