A 540-year mystery. A villain king. And new evidence that could rewrite the very foundation of British history.
For more than half a millennium, the disappearance of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York — the young Princes in the Tower — has remained one of Britain’s darkest and most hotly debated mysteries.
Generations grew up believing a single story:
Richard III murdered his own nephews to steal the crown.
But now, in a twist worthy of a historical thriller, newly uncovered documents threaten to tear that narrative apart.
And the shocking part?
They come from the very historian who helped find Richard III’s body beneath a Leicester car park — Philippa Langley.
🏰 The Missing Princes Project: Evidence That Changes EVERYTHING
Langley’s years-long investigation across Europe has unearthed a treasure trove of forgotten records, and their implications are explosive:
📜 1. A 1487 financial receipt
A nearly 540-year-old document indicating that Edward V was alive—not dead—in the years after Richard III’s reign.
Not hiding.
Not silenced.
But funding preparations for a rebellion.
If true, this single receipt single-handedly dismantles the centuries-old claim that Richard III disposed of the rightful king.
✒️ 2. A manuscript attributed to the younger prince
A chilling first-person account describing:
-
His secret removal from the Tower
-
A covert escape to Ireland
-
The people who assisted him
-
His fear… and his purpose
This is not the voice of a dead boy.
It’s the voice of a survivor.
🛡️ 3. A 1493 legal contract
This document suggests the younger prince — now living under an alias — was actively seeking military support to reclaim his throne.
This revelation casts new suspicion on the identity of Perkin Warbeck, long dismissed as an impostor.
Could European leaders have backed him because they believed he was Richard, Duke of York?
🔍 The Bombshell That Shifts the Entire Investigation
The most explosive discovery?
A 1516 will referencing an item owned by Edward V found in the custody of Sir James Tyrell, the man traditionally accused of murdering the princes.
Instead of a killer…
this will hints Tyrell may have been protecting the boys — not eliminating them.
The implications echo like thunder across history.
👑 Was Richard III the Villain… or the VICTIM?
For centuries, Richard III has been immortalized as the hunchbacked monster of Shakespeare’s plays — the child-killer who murdered his way to the crown.
But Langley’s findings suggest a far more shocking possibility:
**The princes escaped.
They lived.
And Richard III may have been innocent all along.**
If true, then the man history has reviled for 500 years may be its most slandered casualty.
⚡ History Is Being Rewritten Before Our Eyes
These revelations force historians to reexamine:
-
The motives of the Tudor regime
-
The propaganda machine that demonized Richard III
-
The strange rise of Perkin Warbeck
-
The political manipulation that shaped our understanding of the past
The story of the Princes in the Tower is no longer a closed chapter.
It is a live investigation, crackling with new leads, new theories, and new urgency.
❓ **Are we finally uncovering the truth…
or unveiling the greatest cover-up in British history?**
One thing is certain:
