knows more about Richard III than I could ever know, (and more I would venture to guess, than any one of us here for that matter) but just last night on the History Channel the topic was the Tower. And the Tower historian stated that Sir Thomas Moore wrote some place (?) a full accounting of Richard III sending a henchman in - and smothered both boys and buried them under a staircase. Oh, heck we will never know for certain. Nothing like a dead horse to wail away on! *s*
