Episode description
Back in 1483, two young princes mysteriously vanished from the Tower of London…
And more than 500 years later, we’re still arguing about what happened to them.
Were Edward V and his little brother Richard murdered on the orders of their dastardly uncle, Richard III? Or did they secretly survive – becoming pretenders to the throne amid the bloody War of the Roses?
From Tudor propaganda to academic skulduggery, we’re digging up one of Britain’s greatest unsolved mysteries.
