Were King John's twelve and 10 year old son been murdered in a tower?
Short answer - No! But King John murdered his nephew in Rouen, France, in 1203. The princes in the tower were killed sometime after 1483 when their father, Edward IV died. It has been suggested that Richard III had them murdered, but that is probably more unlikely than Henry Tudor ordering it to be done. At a time of strife, child kings were a liability and it was safer for the country to crown a grown adult king, not a child. Once crowned, the princes were less of a threat to Richard than to the conquering Henry VII, two legitimate heirs would have been a far greater problem for him, and of course, the PR of letting it be known that in fact Richard did it would have caused his reign to be called into question and Henry looked on more favourably as king.
