Sorry to bring Those Boys up again

Here in Australia we have a TV quiz called The Einstein Factor, I
suppose, a sort of lighter version of Mastermind.

What I thought interesting was the wording of one of the questions they
asked a woman who had the subject of The Tudors.

From memory it was

"Many people have regarded the first Tudor Henry VII as being
responsible for murdering his wife's brothers known as ....."

Yes, a very basic question and I am not interested in rehashing about
Those Boys again but I just thought it was interesting the angle the
question writer took.

Very interesting - the outside world knows about the alternative
explanations - even better if he had implied that nobody had killed
them.

I don't think we on this list should declare the topic of Those Boys
to be over and done with.

I think most people get interested in Richard III because of the
mystery of Those Boys, primarily, it seems, via Tey's Daughter of Time.

These newcomers to the topic are interested in discussing it, and I
think it's rather unkind, not to mention elitist and supercilious, of
us to yawn and say we're tired of the subject.
