Tower of London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London

Prince Edward V and Richard in the Tower, 1483 by Sir John Everett Millais, 1878. They are known as the Princes in the Tower as they were lodged in the Tower of London, with their last recorded appearance being in June 1483.
Shortly after the death of Edward IV in 1483, the notorious murder of the Princes in the Tower is traditionally believed to have taken place. The incident is one of the most infamous events associated with the Tower of London.^[104] Edward V's uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester was declared Lord Protector while the prince was too young to rule.^[105] Traditional accounts have held that the 12-year-old Edward was confined to the Tower of London along with his younger brother Richard. The Duke of Gloucester was proclaimed King Richard III in June. The princes were last seen in public in June 1483;^[104] it has traditionally been thought that the most likely reason for their disappearance is that they were murdered late in the summer of 1483.^[105] Bones thought to belong to them were discovered in 1674 when the 12th-century forebuilding at the entrance to the White Tower was demolished; however, the reputed level at which the bones were found (10 ft or 3 m) would put the bones at a depth similar to that of the Roman graveyard found, in 2011, 12 ft (4 m) underneath the Minories a few hundred yards to the north.^[106] Opposition to Richard escalated until he was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 by the Lancastrian Henry Tudor, who ascended to the throne as Henry VII.^[104] As king, Henry VII built a tower for a library next to the King's Tower.^[107]
