Notes par Edward V York

Edward V (1470-83), short-lived, uncrowned king of England (1483), the second of the house of York. Born at Westminster, the eldest son of King Edward IV, he was created prince of Wales in 1471. As a result of the power struggle between his paternal uncle Richard, duke of Gloucester, and his maternal uncle Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers, both Edward and his brother, Richard, duke of York, were confined in the Tower of London shortly after their father's death in April 1483. They were not seen again outside the tower. Because the duke of Gloucester had them declared bastards and usurped the throne as Richard III in June 1483, it is reasonable to suppose that he had them assassinated. No circumstantial evidence exists, however. It is possible, for instance, that they survived Richard and were later slain by his successor, Henry VII of the house of Tudor, to whose title they would have been a threat. The belief that Richard instigated their murder was advanced by Tudor historians. "Edward V," Microsoft (R) Encarta. Copyright (c) 1994 Microsoft Corporation.
