I Thought Guy Townsend Had Already Done This

A 500-Year-Old Royal Murder Mystery May Soon Be Solved: A murder case that’s gone unsolved for more than 500 years has just been opened back up. Historian and screenwriter Philippa Langley is launching a fresh investigation into the deaths of the “princes in the tower,” one of the most infamous crime mysteries in British history.

Gratuitous Guy M. Townsend reference explained.

I sort of hate to say "Who cares?" But I suppose 2 things matter: (1) What people thought at the time, and from what I've read, the a-the-time belief was that R3 had them killed. (2) What actually happened, from the point of view of getting the history right. And I don't think that, now, it's possible to come to any definite conclusion. Makes for good newspaper headlines--and publicity for the book she's almost certainly planning--though.

I agree about the possibility of coming to a definite conclusion, although it would be fun if someone could find incontrovertible evidence one way or the other.

There is no such thing as a gratuitous Guy Townsend reference. I wonder...
