Two princes entered the Tower of London in 1483. Within months they had disappeared from public view, leaving behind one of the most enduring mysteries in English history and a shadow that would follow Richard III to the end of his reign.

Edward IV's unexpected death placed his twelve-year-old son on the throne as Edward V. Before the boy could be crowned, his uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester, took control of the government, challenged the legitimacy of Edward IV's marriage and accepted the crown as Richard III. The young king and his brother Richard remained inside the Tower, where sightings became less frequent until both boys vanished from public life. The surviving evidence does not reveal with certainty when they died, how they died or who was directly responsible.
