Who do you think killed the Princes in the Tower?

    Please delete if this is not an appropriate topic for here. I think it's one of the most fascinating whodunnit mysteries that history has to offer. From all that I have read on Richard III, I think it was more likely the murders were ordered by Henry VII or his mother. Both were ruthlessly ambitious, moreso than Richard I think who has had his reputation torn apart since and they had an extra motive in that it firmly established Elizabeth of York as the next legitimate heir.

    Yes I've read lots of material on it. Richards name is so blackened though in history, it is hard to look beyond it. Tyrell is of course a suspect, and there's so many that claim that the real Richard was sent abroad. Or that neither were murdered.
