First we have “Perkin Warbeck”, who the 1493 Trois Enseignes Naturelz , as found by the Missing Princes Project in the Austrian State Archives, has confirmed to be Edward V’s brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. The document title is a reference to his distinguishing features, as obliterated by the torture he underwent so that he could no longer resemble his father: his mouth, one of his eyes and one of his thighs.
Now move on to Madeleine McCann, who also had a distinctive eye often featured in “updated portraits” from her childhood. She still awaits identification, of course, alive or dead.
