1473 - 1483 (9 years)Tomb-Princes in the Tower
Partial skeletons of two young people were unearthed in the Tower in 1674, and many believe they are the remains of the king and his brother. But experts have never agreed on the age or even the sex of the remains. Translation of inscription: "Here lie interred the remains of Edward V King of England, and Richard, Duke of York, whose long desired and much sought after bones, after above an hundred and ninety years, were found by most certain tokens, deep interred under the rubbish of the stairs that led up to the Chapel of the White Tower, on the 17th of July in the year of our Lord 1674. Charles the second, a most merciful prince, having compassion upon their hard fortune, performed the funeral rites of these most unhappy princes among the tombs of their ancestors, anno domini 1678." http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=2248&PIpi=77342
