Princes in the Tower: Power, Silence, Suspicion

The History AI Podcast by Chuck and Marco

Episode notes

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)”. 🖤
