The princes in the tower

7 10 2009

This half term, solve the true life mystery of Richard 3rd and the Princes in the Tower. This session will examine one of England’s enduring controversies, the mystery of the “disappearance” of the uncrowned 12 year-old Edward 5th and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York. Did Richard 3rd, their “wicked” uncle, have the boys killed so that he could seize the throne for himself? Or was another suspect to blame? Can you solve the mystery and decide what happened to the Princes?
