What is your opinion on the "Princes in the Tower" mystery?

Question

The mysterious deaths of King Edward V and his brother Richard----what are your thoughts, opinions, etc (ie who killed them, when/IF they died, etc)?

Answer 1

I have recently read in the newspaper that their uncle Richard III did not kill the little princes in the tower. Are you refering to those princes in the Tower of London? I went there a couple of years ago and although people say it's creepy, I didn't feel anything in that tower. I think that Richard III did send someone to kill his nephews in order for him to become king.

Answer 2

well, what i know about them that they were boy kings after their father's death. but their reign reached their abrupt end when their uncle murdered them while they were sleeping at their prison, the Tower. rumors started to circulate about their sudden disappearance because they were not found after that fateful date. then their uncle assumed the throne and eventually reigned for so years. the mystery of the disappearance of the two boy kings continued to haunt the tower until lately, when there a chest discovered containing the skeletons of two youngsters. it was later proved that the bones belonged to the two little kings. it was decided that they died of asphyxiation (smothered by a pillow) and later put into the chest and put away so that no one wil find their bodies. such a sad fate for the two boy kings of England due to the greed of an uncle... i hope this will suffice...

Answer 3

Is that the one where the two princes father died and their uncle didn't want them to ascend to the throne after him and people believe that he had them smothered when they were sleeping? In reality, i wouldn't cross it out, but as the actual details are foggy and history isn't always how it's written, i don't know what to believe.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what the mystery is - there seems little doubt among historians that Richard III ordered their murders.
