It is common belief that King Richard III murdered his two nephews who were ahead of him in the line to the throne. However, there is a possibility that this was a lie created by Henry VII, and some historians believe it may have been Henry who killed the princes, although Richard certainly locked them in a tower. There is no concrete evidence either way.
