No one knows. There's no evidence either way or that they were murdered at all. They simply vanish from the records. There were rumours circulating at the time, buy the guy reporting on then (Mancini) was looking for any dirt he could get.
The bodies found in the Tower don't actually match in with Thomas Mores description (he says they were dug back up and buried elsewhere) and they're thought to be a random burial from the Saxon period.

Well I guess at that point yeah he'd already crowned himself, dunno why he betrayed his nephews when he was very close and loyal to their father

This is an ancient Roman bread and meat ration. Produced from circa. 57-83 AD, this ration was designed to feed a legion for one day! Alright, Let's get this out onto a tray
>Video cuts to several piles of dust sitting on a tray surrounding a petrified loaf of bread
Nice! As you can see, these are in great shape! Let's start with this vegetable ration
>Camera zooms in on one dust pile
That's in such great shape, I just can't help myself
>Grabs a pinch
Hmm... Tastes vaguely of grass and dirt.. No, that's not good at all
>Grabs another pinch
No, that is not edible. Let's move on to this meat ration.
>Camera zooms on other dust pile
Now, this would have been chicken or mutton, no real way to tell now except a taste test
>Takes pinch
Hmm... You know, I can kinda taste the meat here.... Tastes kinda like chicken... I gotta have more
>Takes another pinch
>Camera cuts to tray missing one pile
Now here we have the real star of the show, the bread. It kinda looks like a rock but this really is in remarkable shape. I'm gonna try and cut it
>Pokes it with P38, chipping it slightly
No hiss
>Footage speeds up as he slowly chips away at the bread
Hmm, didn't really break up evenly. I can't wait to try it
>Camera cuts to face cam, loud crunching can be heard
Hm.. No, this is definitely rancid. It's leaving a sort of mouldy film on my teeth as I chew it... I'd probably die if I took another bite
>Takes another bite
Hmm... No this is terrible
>Cuts back to tray
What an experience. Anyway, this is Steve1989 off MREInfo. Hope you liked the video, and I'm gonna be comin at ya with something new. Or old! See ya!

I've read Sapiens. The first part is fantastic, the origins of early humans is fascinating. Then he delves into his own personal musings during the second half of the book............

How accurate is this novel in how it depicts the American/Mexican West? Some of the brutality seems a bit over the top.

Does anyone else think Harry Potter has been one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

I was helping my grandmother move and I found all sorts of civil war stuff in her attic. Old letters, a few metals, even a uniform that my... I wanna say great-great-great-great grandfather wore when fighting for the Union. Got in contact with a museum to see if they'd be interested it taking it off our hands because I'd like to see these preserved and I don't have the facilities to do that.

Literally because the Junkers and the Industrialists told him to purge the NSDAP and the SA of socialist elements or else they're gonna install a martial law with Hindenburg as a dictator, which would ensure Hitler would never get into power. Hitler thought facing the SA leadership was less of a challenge than facing the aristocracy and the Landswehr.
