A perfectly correct game led up to this position when the white king was swept off the board.

Where should the white king be placed?
Therefore white moved last. White has therefore moved his king from either b3 or c2.
It would have been illegal for the white king to have been on c2.
Therefore white has just moved his king from b3. (To a3 or c3)
But how on earth did black deliver double check? What was blacks last move?
What am I missing?
