Last night, I watched a new TV documentary called “The Princes In The Tower: The New Evidence”. It was actually a new assessment of centuries-old recorded evidence from parts of Europe outside Britain. It strongly supported the view that the Princes were not murdered during Richard III’s lifetime but outlived him and that the older Prince called Edward died in battle to try to reclaim the throne from Henry VII and the younger Prince called Richard also tried to reclaim the throne but was made to “confess” that he was really a man named Perkin Warbeck. He was later hanged, drawn and quartered.
The truth about the disappearance of the Princes is likely to be debated for generations to come.
