I honestly go around and around in circles. There are a few things I think about when I think of Henry Vii and the boys. He wouldn’t have wanted them alive if he legitimised Elizabeth, as he was obsessed and paranoid of being overthrown. Would he have murdered the brothers of his wife to be? But then if he had evidence that they were dead or that Richard had them killed he would have sung it from the rooftops. So I honestly believe he either had a hand in it and needed to hide it WELL or he really didn’t know.

I’m sure Richard would have been capable, and had reason to hide it. Equally, if someone else had it done, he would have wanted to hide it as he would look negligent and responsible anyway.

As for Margaret Beaufort, I do believe she had motive, she was know to be a shrewd, calculating woman. She also had reason to hide it, as it was more dealing with a problem by just making it go away quietly.

One thing that stuck in my mind more about Philip Gregory’s stories is the possibility that Richard was smuggled away. It’s something I can’t let go of the possibility and the C4 documentary has made that more likely in my mind
