Tudor Tale of the Week
Who Killed the Princes?
It is a mystery that may never be forgotten. King Edward V and his brother Richard died in the Tower of London sometime during or after 1483. The two suspects in their murder who are most often mentioned are Miles Forrest and James Tyrell, who supposedly killed the boys for Richard III. New evidence has arisen that further supports their guilt. Forrest held office at Barnard Castle under Richard III, and he and his family were given a house after the boys disappeared. As for Tyrell, new evidence has been found showing that Tyrell may have gifted a chain belonging to Edward V to his sister-in-law, who passed it on in her will. Could these have been payments for services rendered?

Thoughts in Pink Socks
I have a pair of pink socks. They are are too loose, too short, and so fluffy I can't fit my feet into shoes when I wear them. Essentially, the only thing they do well is amuse me. I think of odd things when I wear these socks, and here I will share them with you.
