Why is the bloody tower bloody?
The tower became known as the Bloody Tower in the mid-16th century because it was believed to be the place where the two young Princes in the Tower were murdered by their uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
How were the two princes murdered in the tower?
They were murdered. Most sources say that they were suffocated by feather beds (pillows). However some other sources say that they were drowned in wine OR poisoned with a venomous potion. Some sources also say that Miles Forest and John Dighton were the murders whereas others say that it was Sir James Tyrell. Hope this helps, History Teacher :)
Who were the two brothers that died very young?

Who did Richard III betrayed and why?
Richard III betrayed his nephews, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, as part of his ambition to seize the English throne. After the death of his brother, King Edward IV, Richard, who was the Lord Protector for the young Edward V, took control and declared the boys illegitimate, effectively eliminating them as rivals. This betrayal was driven by Richard's desire for power and the crown, leading to the infamous disappearance of the princes in the Tower of London.
Why do you think King Richard III was responsible for his nephews?
Do you mean why was he responsible for their disappearance? The lost princes disappeared almost immediately after Richard took the throne and it is unknown whether they were killed before or after he left the tower to go on progress following his Coronation. While many theories abound as to who killed the princes, there is no concrete answer. Their bodies have never been verified and no one, to this day, knows what really happened. It is, however, likely that, if he did not order them to be killed himself, Richard probably played a part in their disappearance. Having just taken the throne on rather shaky grounds, and having declared his nephews bastards and therefore not in line for the thrown, he would have wanted to solidify his position as much as possible. Though declaring them bastards had justified him taking the thrown for himself, there would have been nothing to stop the people from rallying behind young Prince Edward as he grew older, particularly if they found Richard to be, in any way, an inferior king. Not only would killing his nephews have ensured Richard's claim to the throne, it would have prevented the people from claiming the princes as their figureheads in later rebellions.
Why did Shakespeare make Richard III evil to please Queen Elizabeth?
Because Richard III fought a battle with Elizabeth's grandfather, Henry Tudor, in which Richard was killed (the Battle of Bosworth) and Henry took the crown as Henry VII. Richard was supposed to have been responsible for murdering the boy King Edward V and his little brother - the so-called Princes In The Tower. (Young Edward and his brother were the brothers of Elizabeth of York, Henry VII's wife). Therefore the Tudors hated Richard III and would be pleased with any propaganda against him. Shakespeare's play Richard III, helped to give Richard a bad name!
