Every Ancient Royal Children Who Mysteriously Vanished

Ancient Royal Children Who Mysteriously Vanished In the spring of fourteen eighty-three, two boys walked through the gates of the Tower of London and never walked out. The elder was twelve years old. His name was Edward, and he had just become King Edward V of England. His younger brother Richard was nine. Their father, King Edward IV, had died unexpectedly that April. Their uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was appointed protector of the realm until the boys came of age. Within weeks, that arrangement collapsed into something far darker. The uncle declared the boys illegitimate, citing a contested precontract of their father's marriage. Parliament accepted the claim. Richard was crowned King Richard III. #LostRoyals #AncientMystery #VanishedHistory
