The Princes
By 1483, the Tower had already witnessed the quiet removal of kings and princes.
Edward V and his brother Richard of York were not the first royal figures to enter the Tower — but they may have been the last never to leave it.
Officially, there is no record of their deaths. No warrant. No confession.* No contemporary account that can be treated as final.
What exists instead is silence.
And silence, in history, is rarely accidental.
Today, we have the science, the precedent, and the public interest to ask questions that earlier generations could not.
If the Tower holds secrets, then it is time they were examined — not through accusation, but through evidence.

The above is a shortened version:
The past is never silent.
It waits.
*Sir James Tyrell was later said to have confessed under Henry VII to arranging the deaths of the Princes, a claim recorded by Thomas More. No written confession survives, and no contemporary court record confirms it.
