HISTORY CONFIRMED.
DEATH OF THE TOWER PRINCES (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON", December 1. It is revealed that ail examination of the remains of the Tower, Princes (Edward V. and his brother), who were buried in the Abbey, confirms the traditional account that the Princes' fate was ordered by King Richard 111., and dispels the theory that Henry VII. was responsible.
Edward V. was King of England from April to June, 1483. He was born at Westminster, the son of Edward IV., but his uncle, Richard 111., overthrew the family of the Prince's mother, the Woodvilles, secured the person of the king and imprisoned him in the Tower of London. Richard was crowned king and after his accession the young Prince, then 13 years of age, and his brother, were murdered Ln the Tower.
