Yvonne Morley-Chisholm's discovery regarding Richard III's voice showcases how skeletal remains can inform us about historical figures' speech patterns and regional dialects.
Morley-Chisholm emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, stating, "I assembled a team of specialists across every field, from dentists to doctors to surgeons and linguists."
Discussing her findings, Morley-Chisholm remarked, "Eventually, the signs pointed to a specific region: Northern England, where Richard III likely had a medieval Yorkshire accent."
