There's no real mystery about the Princes In The Tower

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Well they've done episodes before where there was overwhelming evidence pointing to one culprit (The Russian Poisoning, the Tylenol poisonings, the collar-bomb bank robbery), so it wouldn't be that far out of their wheelhouse to discuss a mystery like the Princes in the Tower.

At the very least they could discuss it as part of a visit to the Tower of London. Given the sheer number of ghosts apparently haunting the place, it would be a good season finale for Supernatural.

Er...except that we don't know for certain when they died, how they died, who did it, where they were buried and whether or not Richard III was ultimately responsible. Personally I think he was, though he didn't kill them himself. But these things aren't definitively known and there's a lot of disagreement about the details.

[(Anonymous)]

There's definitely historical gaps, but not a particularly abnormal or interesting amount, and the idea that anyone other than Richard 3 was ultimately responsible for their deaths is really hard to support.

[(Anonymous)]

That still leaves the question of how he did it and where the bodies are.

[(Anonymous)]

I personally agree with you re: Richard III, but I disagree that it's not abnormal or interesting. A ruling king being murdered in secret has happened before, but political assassination is generally quite interesting. The fact that it was a child king and his brother AND it was on the heels of one of England's civil wars between two powerful factions, ushered in one of the most well-known eras in English history, spawned several pretenders to the throne because it was never satisfactorily resolved... No, sorry, that's fascinating.

[(Anonymous)]

OK, I guess what I'm saying is that the parts that are interesting (to me) aren't unsolved and the parts that are unsolved aren't interesting (to me)

[(Anonymous)]

If it's the same anon who later says they don't find it personally interesting - well, you certainly have a right not to find it mysterious or interesting but... wow. I cannot agree even a little bit. The story of the princes in the tower is almost nothing but mysteries and unknowns, though Richard III is strongly (and correctly, IMO) suspected. Are there any historical mysteries that you consider interesting? I'm just trying to get a sense of your standards.
