Princes in the Tower: Power, Silence, Suspicion

Two boys enter the Tower of London in 1483 and are never seen again. Chuck and Marco unpack England’s coldest case with a clear timeline, the leading suspects (Richard III, Buckingham, the Tudors), and what the evidence actually says—from chroniclers and court politics to the staircase bones and a curious 1516 will that mentions Edward V’s gold chain. We also dig into why this mystery still matters today: legitimacy, propaganda, forensic ethics, and how we read silence in the historical record.

Stay tuned after the episode for our original song: “Ravens Over London (Princes in the Tower)”. 🖤
