In the summer of 1483 Edward and Richard, sons of the deceased King Edward IV, disappeared from the Tower of London, where they were being held by the recently crowned Richard III. There are countless theories about their fate. Some believe that were secretly whisked away and survived into adulthood. Some are convinced that Richard III had them murdered, a theory perpetuated by Sir Thomas More and William Shakespeare. But other suspects linger in the background as well.
My guest, M.J. Trow, believes he knows who killed the Princes in the Tower, and he shares his thoughts on this week’s episode of Most Notorious. His book is called “The Killer of the Princes in the Tower: A New Suspect Revealed”.

Fascinating podcast. Thank you for an interesting hour. We Ricardians have always assumed that because the boys were royal at a time of disorder, their disappearance was connected to their social position. Your theory is similar to detective stories in which the butler did it.
