It seems like a new development in the search for the Princes in the Tower is reported in the news media every month. Philippa Langley continues to produce archival evidence suggesting the Princes were smuggled out of England and disguised as Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. Other historians, however, have produced evidence which they say proves Richard III had the Princes killed during his reign. What do you think? Is the evidence compelling? Is the news media distorting the importance of these findings? What kind of evidence would you need to see to put the matter to rest and say “case closed”?

We invite all members of the American Branch for this informal discussion, led by chair Susan Troxell, when we will survey the recent news articles about the Missing Princes Project, as well as the controversy over the “gold chain” of Edward V which came to James Tyrell’s family in the early 16th century.

This Zoom event aims to encourage connection and discussion between American Branch members. There is no formal lecture. We want to hear from you, no matter your expertise or familiarity with “history’s greatest unsolved mystery.”
