In 1674 renovations were being done on the Tower of London. Workmen found the skeletal remains of what appeared to be children underneath the staircase of the White Tower. It was immediately and unequivocally assumed that these remains were that of the two sons of King Edward V.
In 1933 it was decided to re-examine the bones to see if any conclusions or further information could be ascertained. When the urn was opened two partial, skeletons of children's remains were found. There were also two skulls, one of which|was badly damaged, in there was also a collection of other miscellaneous bones from different animals: as well as a few rusty nails. So were the Two bones that were found at the Tower of London REALLY the two princes? For now that centuries-old mystery still remains unsolved.
