Leicester

Leicester is a city situated in the East Midlands, within the county of Leicestershire. Leicester is situated upon the River Soar, which borders the National Forest. This is also the burial place of King Richard III cementing Leicester in English history with significant historical links traced throughout the city. It is the biggest city found within the East Midlands seeing a population of 330,000 last recorded according to the 2011 census. Leicester is the tenth biggest city found in the United Kingdom and also has a high proportion of people aged 19 and under when compared with the rest of the East Midlands.

Further adding to Leicester’s appeal and attraction to tourists, the city has retained a significant record of historical buildings that remain in the city to this day. These range from ancient Roman pavements and baths to military outposts associated with Celtic tribes. Leicester’s history sees it as a once important market town, which it depended upon. However, the Industrial Revolution quickly led to rapid urban development. After the construction of a rail and canal network in the 19th century, Leicester developed into an important economic centre spread across a variety of trades. Leicester remains one the oldest cities in England and having previously lost its city status in the 11th century, it was then re-granted in 1919.

Leicester’s History

Leicester is one of the oldest cities in England, with a history going back at least two millennia. The native Iron Age settlement encountered by the Romans at the site seems to have developed in the 2nd or 1st centuries BC. It is believed that the Romans arrived in the Leicester area around AD 47, during their conquest of southern Britain.

Leicester was occupied by the Middle Angles and subsequently administered by the kingdom of Mercia. It was elevated to a bishopric in either 679 or 680; this sees survived until the 9th century when Leicester was captured by Danish Vikings.

Following the Norman conquest, Leicester was recorded by William’s Domesday Book as Ledecestre. It was noted as a city but lost this status in the 11th century owing to power struggles between the Church and the aristocracy and did not become a legal city again until 1919.

King Richard III

At the end of the War of the Roses, King Richard III was buried in Leicester’s Greyfriars Church a Franciscan Friary and Church which was demolished after its dissolution in 1538. The site of that church is now covered by more modern buildings and a car park. There was a legend his corpse had been cast into the river, while some historians argued his tomb and remains were destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. However, in September 2012, an archaeological investigation of the car park revealed a skeleton which DNA testing helped verify to be related to two descendants of Richard III’s sister. It was concluded that the skeleton was that of Richard III because of the DNA evidence and the shape of the spine. In 2015 Richard III was reburied in pride of place near the high altar in Leicester Cathedral.
