The Mystery of Sir James Tyrell & The Princes in the Tower
On this day in Tudor history, 6th May 1502, Sir James Tyrell met his end on Tower Hill—remembered not just as a royal servant, but as the man accused of murdering the Princes in the Tower.
But did he really confess to killing Edward V and his brother? Or was his name dragged into a Tudor-era cover-up?
In this podcast, we unravel the life, rise, and sudden fall of Sir James Tyrell—and examine the evidence (or lack of it) behind his alleged role in one of history’s most chilling unsolved mysteries.
Plus, we explore a recent theory involving a gold chain and a will from 1516… Could it link Tyrell to the lost princes? Or is it just another red herring?
Watch now to uncover what we do know—and decide for yourself whether Tyrell was a murderer, or just another convenient scapegoat.
