A year ago, the world was rocked by the release of the “missing Princes project” interim findings. A new book and TV documentary on the “Princes in the Tower” followed hot on the heels. The epic Philippa Langley was the driving force behind all three.
Okay, so it may have been a relatively niche portion of the world that was “rocked” by this release. But we Royal history geeks were curiously captivated.
In this video, history writer Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor discuss the books strengths and weaknesses.
We cover:
· The background and merits of the "missing Princes project"
· The positives of the book and corresponding TV show
· The problem with biases in historical research
· Our big issues with the book's approach to source criticism
· The opportunities for the future of the project
· Our fears that the quest to prove Richard III’s innocence will undermine the genuine historical value of the project
· Whether the bones supposedly belonging to Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York should be subject to DNA examinations
