For me though, I think the Tudors were in the main part ruthless liars and as to the Princes in the Tower, I feel at that time and the uncertain time it was, that Richard 111 had little to gain,if anything at all even, from killing them, they were after all heirs to his line should anything happen to him.
Henry V11 however would need them dead to be sure of security once he had got the throne so for me, I now hold the view he is very likely the architect of their deaths not Richard.
I hope if they conclude that these are in fact his bones that they eventually get the burial that most Monarchs have been accorded.
