Terrific thread! Thanks so much for making it! The resurrection of Richard III's skeleton has brought up the old arguments between the Ricardists and the Tudor fans over the mystery of The Princes in the Tower. I'd love to hear the OP's and other historians' personal theories about what happened to the princes. As Ricardists have pointed out, if Richard *had* killed the princes (or had them killed at his command), why didn't Henry VII make hay of it once he became king? What about Philippa Gregory's fictionalized theory, that Buckingham had them killed at Margaret Beaufort's behest and unknown to Richard? And was it ever determined whether Perkin Warbeck was indeed one of the princes? (Anne Easter Smith makes the case in one of her novels that Warbeck was in fact the Duke of Clarence's out-of-wedlock child, raised by his sister, Margaret of Burgundy.)
