The fate of the Princes in the Tower has baffled historians and laymen alike for over half a millennium. Despite centuries of investigations, this deeply shrouded mystery continues to produce more questions than answers. Was the young boy king and his brother murdered on the orders of their nefarious uncle, Richard III? Or were the members of the rival house- the Lancasters- responsible for this heinous crime?

These sceptics see Richard depicted under the 'black
