  The Princes In The Tower

  Aug 2, 202640 minS1

  In 1483, twelve-year-old King Edward V and his younger brother Richard disappeared inside the Tower of London. They were never seen again. More than five centuries later, the case remains one of history's greatest mysteries. In our tenth episode, we examine the evidence, explore the leading suspects, separate documented fact from centuries of propaganda, and ask the question historians still can't answer: What really happened to the Princes in the Tower?
