A note on my recent BBC interview
I have shared below a link to a shortened section of my BBC interview from last week, now available on the BBC website.
www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0n2916z
While I am grateful for the coverage, the edited version necessarily omits two points that are central to the historical evidence surrounding the Princes in the Tower. I want to flag these clearly, as they are often overlooked in public discussion.
First, there is the will of Sir James Tyrell’s sister-in-law, in which she bequeaths to her son a chain of office. This point is crucial. Such a chain was not a casual object, nor something that could be legitimately gifted or rewarded. It would have been in the personal possession of Edward V at the end of his life. The question, therefore, is stark: how could such an item come into the hands of another family unless someone was present at the prince’s end? It is not an object that would have been passed on in the ordinary course of service. It was Edward’s to retain until his death
Second, there is the long-misunderstood account of Sir Thomas More. More did not invent his story in isolation. We now know that he personally knew the two sons of John Dighton and Miles Forest, the men traditionally named as the actual killers. It is through these sons, as we understand it, that More learned that their fathers acted on the orders of Sir James Tyrell. This significantly strengthens the context in which More’s account should be read.
Neither of these points fits easily into a short broadcast extract, but both are crucial to any serious, evidence-based examination of what may have happened.
Over the next two weeks, I will be publishing a longer YouTube video setting out the full factual background in detail, alongside a fuller version of the interview, to allow the evidence to be considered properly and without compression.
History deserves clarity, not simplification.
