The disappearance of two young English princes has remained a mystery ever since they were last seen alive in the autumn of 1483.
The pair in question were Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York. Although many believe the pair were murdered on the orders of their uncle, Richard III, the theory has never been definitively proven. Other theories have suggested they were slain by either Henry VII, Henry Stafford the Duke of Buckingham or Lady Margaret Beaufort.
There’s even a belief they might have escaped the Tower of London and lived on into adulthood. The answer to the mystery might never be known.

They were so beautiful, two lost souls taken violently from their family before their life truly began. Thanks for sharing
yes sweet, very tragic.
They covered this episode in the Starz TV show “The White Queen”, starring Rebecca Ferguson and a bunch of other much less memorable actors. It was a good show and had its own take on what happened, which I won’t spoil. Of course, over 500 years later and absent a time machine, I doubt anybody is ever going to prove anything …
indeed James never saw it but will give it a go, thank you.
(I’m being slightly unfair because the show actually had a great cast, but it’s tough to compete with Elsa Faust lol.)
So mysterious, Billly!
yes it is mate, thanks tim
