Description
The best investigative history into the fate of the two nephews of Richard III. The 'Princes in the Tower' is a cause celebre of English history. Did Richard III murder his two nephews Edward V and Prince Richard to usurp the throne of England? Shakespeare certainly thought so and together with later Tudor propagandists - keen to legitimize their new royal dynasty - Richard became a hunchback, crippled by his evil deeds. Drawing on contemporary documents and the latest historical research show more Audrey Williamson reveals the shocking conspiracy to conceal the truth. show lessTags
