WHO KILLED THE PRINCES IN THE TOWER?
Caught up in factional fighting, the princes may have died at the command of their uncle, Richard III
Building work was being carried out at the Tower of London on Friday 17 July 1674 when a grisly discovery was made. Among those present was John Knight, chief surgeon to King Charles II. While pulling down a ruined building beside the White Tower, the workmen digging down some stairs found a wooden chest containing the bodies of two children, estimated to be around 11 and 13 years old.
