The lost king : Richard III and the princes in the Tower

Prince, Alison2014
Books, Manuscripts
Edward IV has died, leaving his 12-year-old son as king. But England has been torn apart by the Wars of the Roses and nobody wants a boy-king. Soon the boy's uncle Richard III is on the throne - but Henry Tudor is challenging him for the crown. Henry and Richard have one thing in common: they need the young Edward V and his little brother out of the way. The two boys are sent to the Tower of London for safety and are never seen again. A fascinating look at the brief reign of Richard III, told through the eyes of the princes' nursemaid. What really happened to the princes in the Tower? Was Richard responsible - or has he been wrongly accused for centuries?
