The most significant and haunting mystery in English history revolves around the tragic fate of two young princes who were rightful claimants to the throne. Named as the Princes in the Tower, they were imprisoned within its walls. Their father, Edward IV, met a sudden death at the age of 40. Following his death, his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, assumed responsibility for the princes, vowing to govern in their stead until the elder Edward reached the age to rule. However, as time passed, he declared his late brother's marriage invalid, leading to the princes being stripped of their rightful succession to the throne.
Following this, the attendants responsible for the welfare of the princes were dismissed, and the boys vanished without a trace from the Tower.
Let's join forces with the author of the book "Richard III and the Princes in the Tower," A. J. Pollard, to delve into the true nature of Richard III and explore whether he bore any responsibility for the fate of the young princes.
