Description
Two young princes vanished inside the Tower of London, and history has never agreed on what happened next.
In 1483, Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, disappeared from public view after their uncle seized the throne as King Richard III. Were they murdered? If so, who was responsible?
For centuries, suspicion has fallen on Richard III, but was the case really that simple?
In this video, I explore:
• the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower
• Richard III and the evidence against him
• the role of Buckingham, Henry VII, and Margaret Beaufort
• medieval politics and rival claimants
• Thomas More and the James Tyrell confession story
• the mystery of Perkin Warbeck and survival theories
• the bones discovered in the Tower of London
• what contemporary sources actually tell us
Was this a royal murder, a political conspiracy, or one of history’s greatest misunderstandings?
Let me know your theory in the comments.
