The New Murrey and Blue blog

This time, Philippa Langley and her team have discovered proof that both the “Princes” survived into 1487, by which time Henry “Tudor” had re-legitimated them both by repealing the original Titulus Regiuss unread. Both went on to challenge Henry, albeit unsuccessfully. The evidence, verified by the likes of Dr. Janina Ramirez, includes:

An invoice from Maximilian I for the weapons he supplied to Edward V for his 1487 invasion and a promise to pay Albert of Saxony 30,000 florins on his accession.
A diary entry from Richard of Shrewsbury showing how the Duke of Norfolk assisted in his escape, similar to “Perkin”‘s better-known “a certain lord” account and clearly identifying them as the same man.

All of them came from sources on the continent., where Henry VII’s word was unimportant and that the Human Shredder could not reach. It is apparent that both “Princes” spent some time in the Channel Islands, Pontefract Castle and possibly Gipping Hall. Furthermore, Edward may have died at Stoke Field but could easily have survived to become Sir John Evans, the Coldridge parker, where the Yorkist chapel exists, as the interview on “Gone Mediaeval” makes clear.

So here we have similar research to that undertaken by Fields, Ashdown-Hill, Carson and Lewis but it has gone a little further and uncovered some important documentary proof. The Missing Princes Project will carry on from here, as there are many loose ends.
