Llandovery Theatre-Feb-2016

I can’t find a date on this article about Llandovery Theatre, but it’s interesting to find a theatre website that supports Richard. It contains an intriguing theory about Tyrell and the boys from the Tower:-
“In 1485, Richard III gave a Charter to Llandovery, and appointed James Tyrell to be steward of Llandovery Castle. Before Bosworth he sent Tyrell to France to ‘monitor’ the build-up of the ‘invasion’ expected from Henry. Were the princes housed at that time in Llandovery Castle, or did Tyrell take them out of England into France for their safety? If we believe Tyrell to be the murderer of the princes, maybe we should start by digging up the car-park beside Llandovery Castle, to see what we may find.”

My thought: Tyrell’s guilt would not automatically mean Richard’s as well, of course. I will never believe that Richard ordered the deaths of two of his nephews, but for some reason left a third nephew (Warwick) alive. Not logical.

    Why do people, I presume Ricardians, still assume the two boys were murdered? There is no evidence whatsoever. The story was fabricated to get the king to reveal their whereabouts which, obviously he could not do if he had them in a safe place with a new identity, which is the most likely scenario. Time and again we find those who should know better letting Story get in the way of intelligent analysis.

      Why presume Ricardians? I don’t know any Ricardians who believe Richard had the boys murdered.
