So says Henry VII, the last man to see the children alive, after he defeated Richard at Bosworth. Oddly enough, the usurper claims Richard killed the children.
Which usurper are you talking about? Henry VII or Richard the III?
The claim that Henry VII killed the children is a weak one. They’d been missing for two years by the time he took the throne and would have had the opportunity to murder them. Meanwhile, it was common gossip that Richard had had them killed, gossip that fueled his enemies and that he could have ended in an instant by simply presenting the princes in public.
