History's Mysteries: The Princes in the Tower

By Alfred Milten

History's Mysteries: The Princes in the Tower

In 1483, twelve-year-old Edward V and his nine-year-old brother, Richard of Shrewsbury, were lodged in the Tower of London, ahead of Edward's impending coronation. Then they vanished - and were never seen again

Their disappearance remains one of the most haunting, unresolved mysteries in English history. Were they murdered? And if so, by whom? Was it their uncle, Richard III, the newly crowned king and long considered the prime suspect? Or did other hands driven by ambition, fear, or political necessity play a role in their fate?

This book offers a comprehensive account into the fate of the princes, and the turbulent political climate of late 15th-century England. Drawing on original chronicles, later Tudor accounts, modern historical research, and forensic findings, it examines the evidence and key suspects such as Richard III, Henry VII, Margaret Beaufort, the Duke of Buckingham, and others who stood to gain from the princes' disappearance.

Rather than presenting a single conclusion, this book examines the intricacies of the case, its gaps, contradictions, and enduring fascination. It is a meticulously researched, thought-provoking account of a silence at the heart of one of British history's most enduring mysteries
