   The two “historians,” Worsley and Borman, at the Tower have too much invested now in their stance on the Princes to ever change it without damage to their own reputations and careers.

   Henry Tudor needed the Princes to be dead, but if they were not, (and he had no definite proof – he sent out messages asking about their whereabouts) he needed them to be thought to be dead, to make the country forget them and to preclude and forestall any uprising in their favour.

   It is my opinion that the Coldridge theory (Edward V living secretly under the pseudonym John Evans on his half-brother Dorset’s land) bears out the elder Prince’s survival after the Battle of East Stoke in 1487 with the full knowledge and cooperation of Henry Tudor – as long as he didn’t make waves.

   When Tudor finally got his hands on Richard of Shrewsbury (the younger Prince) the whole “Perkin Warbeck/Pretender” scenario was dreamed up, but “Perkin” was less inclined to be cooperative and had to be kept in the Tower for some time and was then executed after a fake chance to escape.

   IF it was him, “Perkin/Shrewsbury”, who was executed… why was his face battered and made unrecognisable? Was a common felon executed in his place? Did he finally accede to Tudor’s ultimatum and live on secretly, allowed to study and qualify as Dr John Clements, marrying Thomas More’s adopted daughter, as proposed by Jack Leslau’s theory?

   IIt is my opinion that the stories of their “murder” were deliberately recorded by Henry’s chroniclers and historians in order to hide the truth of the young men’s survival and hidden identities. More was perhaps commissioned to write one too, but his eventual version using and embellishing the previous stories was not ultimately published by More himself – perhaps knowing it to be a fanciful pack of lies and a huge cover-up worthy of MI5 itself!

   es ist ja nun mal so, daß aus der Urne in der Westminster Abtei eine Reliquie geworden ist. Und Reliquien werden ja grundsätzlich nicht untersucht! Ich streite mich sehr viel mit amerikanischen Influenzern und stelle immer wieder schockiert fest, daß zu den Legenden der Tudorchronisten auch noch diverse und Serien für Tatsachen gehalten werden! Manchmal gelingt es mir, jemanden zu überzeugen, meistens nicht!

   Als Chefkurator des Tower ist Tracy Bormann geradezu verpflichtet, den Mythos der “Prinzen” im Tower immer weiter zu bestätigen! Obwohl sie den Plan des alten Tower kennt! Im Podcast “HistoryExtra” spricht auch Tracy Bormann dann und wann, bis jetzt allerdings nicht über die “Prinzen”. Ich habe sie mal nach der Doku mit Tim Thornton gefragt, mich dumm gestellt und natürlich keine Antwort bekommen!

   Es ist außerdem zu befürchten, daß die Raben sofort den Tower verlassen, wenn herauskommt, daß die Prinzen dort weder gestorben sind, noch begraben wurden

   Wir werden es eines Tages schaffen, Christine. Ich glaube nur nicht, daß ich da sein werde, um es zu sehen!
