Have a listen to the podcast “ Gone Medievil..Princes in the Tower: New evidence revealed … it will fill in the gaps
Thank you Torkel - and this information leads me to wonder next - if in fact the two princes survived throughout the reign of Richard III, then in fact Ed.V continued to be "de jure" if not "de facto" king? And of course, was Richard III himself personally aware of the continued existence of his two nephews or did he actually believe they were both deceased? And similarly also - was Henry VII aware of the two princes being alive, or was he led to believe they were previously deceased? It will be very interesting to see if Ms. Langley can bring any conclusive answers to any of those questions in her research.
I have only heard Philippa Langley speak on this in a podcast, but the essence is that she argues that both princes survived and were not killed during the reign of Richard III.
New evidence uncovered in Flanders suggests both princes were alive and staying there several years after Henry Tudor took the crown.
This was very interesting news to me since I'm an admirer of Ms. Gregory's past diligent research in other related royal mystery. Since I don't have access to the program, can you share at this point whether her mission regarding the two princes is simply to determine who was ultimately the person who decided the fate of Edward V and his brother, or is it possibly something even further than that - e.g., to finally trace their resting place and possible remains?
I watched this TV program last night in Australia and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The work of Philippa Langley and 300 volunteers searching archives in the UK and on the Continent has uncovered some very interesting material.
The role of the York aunt of the Princes, Margaret of Burgundy, intrigues me. More discoveries could be expected in the future I would think.
