The identity of the king whose body was found in a parking lot has been confirmed with near absolute certainty to have been Richard III -- thanks to mitrochondrial DNA: evidently there are living matrilineal descendants of his sister, Anne of York.
But the testing on the Y chromosome revealed another story: can anybody provide the exact genealogical link through which this was tested? The patrilineal descendant of the Plantagenets who was provden not to be related to the king, thereby revealing a break?

The YDNA of the Duke of Beaufort did not match that of Richard III.
When the non-paternity-event took place is impossible to say from that, other lines would need testing to find out.
