    Skeletons found in the tower were the two servants that were used to pretend they were the two princes. They were used to fool King Richard and were, sadly, killed. MY vote is the two bodies found in child-sized coffins, hidden in the wall near their parents buriel, are the two young boys.

    Historian David Starkey has pointed out records which indicate that while Tyrell was being tried for Yorkist sympathizing, he was visited by both King Henry 7th of England and Elizibeth of York, Queen Consort of England, even though their son Prince Auther was laid to rest less than a fortnight before and both were said to have still been in deep mourning, so Tyrell seems to have suddenly become a very important man before he died!

    • @EvelynEdwards
      @EvelynEdwards  Před 2 měsíci

      Head to the googles and type in Tyrell confession fact or fiction. I’m not a Ricardian but you may change your mind about some of the things Starkey said in his documentary. Historians go in waves of popularity and some of Starkey’s scholarship on this particular subject have been widely refuted. I’m not saying I agree or disagree. I am just putting it out there. 💚🙏🏻

    Why were the bones of so many children found? 😢 I feel like crimes against children has taken place here over the centuries. Is there anyway to determine the causes of their deaths? Have we tried to do DNA analysis to see if there are any living matches?

    • @EvelynEdwards
      @EvelynEdwards  Před 5 měsíci +4

      There were many children that went to the Tower of London. Sometimes they went with their parents when they were imprisoned there. Many died of illness while inside.
      As for testing of any bones that are believed to be the princes - no. Permission must be granted from the monarch and the archbishop of Cantebury. And that has not been given.
