Actually, I wholeheartedly agree with that. Henry VII had one of his ruthless henchmen murder the little princes after they and their sisters had been relegitimized; the original act of Parliament which had delegitimized them and made Richard III the monarch was gathered up in (almost) all its copies and destroyed by Henry VII’s order. One or two copies managed to survive, to be rediscovered in the 20th c (if memory serves).

The reason the three kids were relegitimized was so Henry VII could marry a sister and have some sort of legalistic claim to the throne. But that meant the two brothers were then the rightful line, the elder being rightful king. So they had to be gotten rid of. Later, when his hired killer got on Henry’s wrong side (that happened a lot to Tudor employees) he signed a phony confession claiming that he had killed the princes but at the order of Richard III.

During some renovation work three hundred years ago, skeletons were found on the grounds of the Tower of London (often said to have been found under a stairway), they looked about right, and they were interred as the remains of the lost princes. In the early 20th c forensic examiners were given a look-see at the remains and determined that the dead had been too old to have died during the reign of Richard III. :’) It’s not now known who they were (say the defenders of the Tudors) or even what their age was, but further study using today’s techniques haven’t been permitted. Y’know, ‘cause these aren’t just anyone’s bones. ;’)

Richard III was betrayed during his final battle — a noble and his household who were supposedly loyal to him had been bought off by Henry; they pulled him from his horse without warning, and murdered him on the field. Whatever the accomplishments of the Tudor dynasty, it can’t be denied that each generation was hideously violent. The only ruler who didn’t manifest that way was Edward VI (Edward so-called the V was the elder of the two missing princes) and he didn’t live long enough to get there, imho.
