Love how over 500 years later we still aren't sure what happened to them

The Survival of the Princes in the Tower- Matt Lewis

The fate of the Princes in the Tower remains one of history's most enduring and hotly debated mysteries. Traditionally the story ends with their murder at the hands of their uncle, Richard III. However, historian and History Hit presenter Matt Lewis invites you to examine a more radical possibility: what if they weren't murdered at all?

As co-host of the Gone Medieval podcast, Matt brings his deep expertise of the 15th century to the stage, challenging Shakespearean myths and offering a fresh perspective on a cold case that has fascinated the world for over five centuries.

📅 Saturday 20th June
