Show Notes

Who killed the Princes in the Tower? The inspiration behind Shakespeare's Richard III, their murder is one of the greatest mysteries in English history. 


In the first of two episodes, we start with the princes' father, Edward IV. Tom and Dominic discuss the remarkable parallels between Edward IV and his grandson, Henry VIII, and why Edward's brother, Duke of Clarence, is certainly not a friend of the show.


All this, plus Tom's case for why he does a better prince impression than Brian Blessed.


Producer: Dom Johnson

Exec Producer: Tony Pastor
