Hi Larry,
The answer is "no". Richard III is one of two English Kings whose
final resting place is unknown. The other one is Edward V - some
kind of poetic justice there?
It is believed Richard was originally buried in Leicester at the
Greyfriars but the grave was disturbed and the bones supposedly
tossed into the River Soar. Some folks think the grave might still
be there, paved over and serving today as a parking lot, but in any
case, there is not a grave site.
