Who killed the princes in the tower?

James Tyrell did say he did it on the orders of Richard III but could not identify the location of the bodies, remember it was under torture as well so we cannot take this testimony accurately.*Also, Henry VII was suspected.*There was loads of evidence linking Richard to the murder such as the first clue was the facts that in the summer of 1483 Richard be headed quiet a few fellow men. Because the tried to stop him becoming king they were not even given the decency of their own trail to plead their innocent. This shows that Richard was purely loathsome when it came to court. Many people said if he could kill one person to get to the throne then why would killing the princes be any different. When it came to it it was all to get to the throne.Another clue was in 1483 many men loyal to Richard turned against him and joined Henry Tudor. This could have shown they knew Richard had murdered the boys and they didn't want to have anything to do with him when he was proven guilty. On the other hand they could have been sent to pretend they thought Richard was guilty.Also the boys were in the way of Richard getting the throne and the princes were in Richards custody when they went missing most people think it was Richard who killed the princes in the tower.HenryIII was also at risk of being suspected because if the princes didn't die than he would never have become king! Clever but if he just thought about it than this is probably what he would have come up with.

What is the story of the princes in the tower?

Edward IV died and the throne to his son Edward V. Until Edward could take the throne however, Edward IV declared that his brother Richard should watch over Edward V and his brother the Duke of York. Richard, however wanted to be King and declared Edward and his brother illegitimate and declared himself King. Afterwards he sent the two Princes to the Tower and they were never seen again. It is believed that the Princes were smothered to death. In the 1600s, a box was found with the bones of two small children which are believed to be the Princes.


Was richard 3rd evil?

Richard III was not evil. He had strong, legitimate claim to the throne and took it. Points to make: 1. If this relates to the play by Shakespeare: the playwright to poetic lisence and not everything he wrote is true 2. If this has to do with the Princes in the Tower, there is no evidence he had anything to do with their disappearance.

Did king richard 111 kill his niece and nephew?

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.


Why did some historians think that King Richard III was inocent?

Because his name was deliberately blackened by the Tudors, helped by Shakespeare. There is still debate about who ordered the murder of the Princes, though the execution of Buckingham was ordered by Richard, quite deservedly too, as he had been plotting against him.
