Richard III and the Princes in the Tower: Separating Fact from Fiction

from The Proper British History Podcast: Kings, Queens, Wars, Empire, Politics, Revolutions, Royalty and the Historical Great Britain · host Podily

This episode traces the scant contemporary records, the later Tudor narratives and archaeological clues that shape our understanding of Richard III’s reign and the fate of the young princes. We weigh competing scholarly interpretations, examine the political motives behind Tudor propaganda, and consider how this mystery informs broader questions about power, legitimacy and memory in late medieval England.
