• Notes

  Edward V, eldest son of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, was born in 1470. He ascended the throne upon his father's death in April 1483, but reigned only two months before being deposed by his uncle, Richard, Dukeof Gloucester. The entire episode is still shrouded in mystery. The Duke had Edward and his younger brother, Richard, imprisoned in the Towerand declared illegitimate amd named himself rightful heir to the crown. The two young boys never emerged from the Tower, apparently murdered by,or at least on the orders of, their Uncle Richard. During renovations to the Tower in 1674, the skeletons of two children were found, possiblythe murdered boys.
