Princes evidence?: was [Richard III Society Forum] Digest Number 47

Richard III Society Forum - Discussion area for 15th 16th century historyI have read these books. I have just finished reading Maligned King. That's why I am asking if anyone knows of any answers to my questions. It seems very strange that there is no information about such crucial questions. Even misinformation may be helpful. Does anyone know any detail of Tyrell's supposed confession? Does it have any detail at all? Greg. Re: Digest Number 4788 Wed Jan 22, 2014 3:10 am (PST) . Posted by: "Greg Henderson" skruff1961

The Disappearance of the Princes in the Tower

Questions:

1. Who was first to find that the boys were gone?

2. What did they find in the rooms of the Princes? Were there signs of violence? Were the boys' belongings lying around or had they been packed up and taken away with them (or hidden away)?

3. Who was the last person to see them at the Tower? When do the accounts of expenditure show the cessation of orders of food and supplies for the Princes?

4. Who reported that they were gone to the Constable of the Tower and/or to the King?

Are there any answers to any of these questions?

Hi Greg,

You sound like Inspector Barnaby from Midsomer :) (I know you have that in Aus)

You know, if any one of us had the answer to any one of those questions we'd probably make a fortune.

So much was wiped from the record when the new regime came in and my particular beef has always been that surely oral history must have passed down some of these things (where were the cleaners, laundry maids etc?) but ....

There are far more erudite people on here who can answer why there are no answers in much more detail, but I would recommend Josephine Wilkinson or Audrey Williamson who've both written on the Princes in the Tower. Then you might begin to understand the difficulties. Kind Regards H (who spent a few good years Down Under)
