Did Richard III kill the Princes?

Did Richard III kill the Princes?
No — or at the very least, it is far from proven.
For over 500 years, the narrative has been repeated as fact.
But when you look closely at the evidence, the picture becomes far less certain.
So what actually happened?
Could the Princes have escaped?
Arguments that suggest escape is possible:
There are no contemporary records confirming their deaths in 1483
Reports of their murder appear years later, under Tudor rule
Perkin Warbeck was recognised by several European courts as Richard of York
The Tower was not an impenetrable prison in the modern sense
Political motives existed to remove them quietly rather than publicly
Arguments against escape:
No verified sightings of both boys after 1483
No confirmed adult identities that can be proven conclusively
The disappearance itself strongly suggests intervention
Later confessions (though contested) point to their deaths
The truth is this:
We do not know.
And for one of the most important dynastic events in English history — that is extraordinary.
Which leads to the real question:
Why have we never tested the only evidence that might finally give us an answer?
It is time for DNA testing.
