Best Answer

The true nature of Henry' s death, while a prisoner in the Tower of London, is still disputed by historians. There are 3 plausible explanations:

  • He died of a broken heart after hearing of the death of his son at the Battle of Tewkesbury.
  • He was murdered on the orders of Edward IV, the most probable explanation.
  • He was murdered by Edward's brother, Richard of Gloucester, later Richard III. This is almost certainly a slander, since Richard is known not to have been within a hundred miles of London when Henry died.
