- Summary:
- In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that changes what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower. Established by Langley in 2016, 'The Missing Princes Project' employed the methods of a cold-case police inquiry. Using investigative methodology, it aimed to place this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time. In "The princes in the tower", Langley records the painstaking investigative work and research of the project. By questioning received wisdom, she and her international team of researchers shed light upon one of history's greatest miscarriages of justice, revealing a phenomenal untold story.
