They were Edward  Prince of Wales  nearly thirteen at the time  and his brother  Richard of York  nearly ten. With their father  Edward IV  dying suddenly at forty  both boys had been catapulted into the spotlight of fifteenth-century politics  which was at once bloody and unpredictable.  Thanks to the work of the hack historians who wrote for Henry VII  the first Tudor  generations grew up believing that the boys were murdered and that the guilty party was their wicked uncle  Richard  Duke of Gloucester. Richard crowned himself King of England in July 1483  at which time the boys were effectively prisoners in the Tower of London.  After that  there was no further sign of them.  Over the past 500 years  three men in particular have been accused of the boys murders  Richard of Gloucester; Henry Tudor  Earl of Richmond; and Henry Stafford  Duke of Buckingham. The evidence against them would not stand up in a court of law today  but the court of history is much less demanding and most fingers remain pointed squarely at Richard of Gloucester.  This book takes a different approach  the first to follow this particular line of enquiry. It is written as a police procedural  weighing up the historical evidence without being shackled to a particular camp. The supposition has always been made that the boys were murdered for political reasons. But what if that is incorrect? What if they died for other reasons entirely? What if their killer had nothing to gain politically from their deaths at all?  And  even more fascinatingly  what if the princes in the Tower were not the only victims?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45277075177525,"sku":"ByrdShop_1526784076","price":241.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781526784070.jpg?v=1780571622","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-killer-of-the-princes-in-the-tower-a-new-suspect-revealed-9781526784070","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
