These days loyal Ricardians battle to repair Richard's reputation but the traditional view is that Richard, while not as evil as Tudor historians said, was probably responsible for removing his nephews from the royal line.

Removing Murdering little kids is not particularly endearing.

God rules, without remorse

Bloody Richard
Whose black heart had of strife to pow’r been
Though he gained his empty triumph
O’er the bodies of kith and kin
‘Twas only for one scene
But, in the end
More hapless than his victims, he
The crown gone horseless
Providence was more remorseless
With no mean conveyance
To earthly glory
Or, we might surmise, perhaps
To heaven, e’en

— Tom Hoefling

***Removing Murdering little kids is not particularly endearing. ****

About forty five -fifty years ago there was found the bodies of two children, a boy and a girl. It was deduced these were two members of Royalty who were married as children back in the Middle ages. The marriage was done for political reasons, then they disappeared from history.

Their bodies were on display for a while till people began to demand they be reburied. This caused many American Indians to start demanding the same for their ancestors on displays in the US.
