The two Princes in the Tower
So a little after the battle of the roses, when Edward IV died his two sons lived in different places. One with his mother and the other with the mothers brother in a castle with tutors. But when Edward IV died there needed to be a new king. So the people wanted Richard III but the mother did not want him so she tried to make her older son be the king but one of Richard's followers sent him a message to come with a big army and become a substitute king. So he came and he took Edward and told everyone that he was safe with him but he was not. He put him in a tower and then told his mom to bring the other son because Edward was lonely. But she didn't want to give her son away so she ran to a church and hid there, but Richard's soldiers found her and took the child away and now there were two heir's to the throne in Richard III hands. He made himself king and executed the mothers brother and had a ceremony for him becoming king. But after a while Henry Tudor came and killed Richard III and he searched the tower and there was no one there. It was a mystery were the two brothers went.
