Tudor's very public pledge to marry her would suggest otherwise.

It suggests nothing of the kind. She was not mentioned in the Buckingham rebellion at all.

Neither Elizabeth of York nor Elizabeth Woodville EVER suggested that the Princes were dead, nor did they suggest that the rightful claim to the throne would pass through Elizabeth.

Right: murdering your kids and stationing a garrison of armed thugs outside your door with the threat to do the same to you will tend to mute your responses to even the most outrageous crimes. Of all the "refutations" enjoined by Ricardians, this is the lamest.

By your same logic, why would she have married Henry Tudor? He was a "usurper" after all, and Richard had treated her relatives so well.

I love watching that vein pop out on the foreheads of you Romanists, as your thoroughly unhinged post indicates it has,
Romanists? At least there's no longer any doubt why you've been having to clean the spittle off your monitor, that's what angry bigots often have to do.
