Hello and welcome to Medieval Murder, the podcast that brings all things gruesome and historical to the comfort of your own home or car or wherever it is you’re listening from. My name is Hannah Purtymun and I’m here with my father Kevin Purtymun to discuss some of the most famous and infamous murders that took place in the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

Today we will be talking about the mystery of the two princes in the tower, Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury. There has been stories for centuries that the two princes either were murdered in the Tower of London or just went missing and were never heard from again.

If you have any listener questions, comments, or topic suggestions please feel free to reach our via our Twitter Account @MurderMedieval, our instagram account @MedievalMurder or via email at info.medievalmurder@gmail.com.
