No s\u00e9 muy bien por qu\u00e9, pero es una mezcla de intrigas pol\u00edticas, batallas \u00e9picas, personajes fuertes (sobre todo los femeninos, poco conocidos) cuya suerte cambia de la noche a la ma\u00f1ana, y localizada en Inglaterra (\u00bfhe dicho ya que soy un poquito angl\u00f3fila \ud83d\ude42 ?) que me encanta. Encima incluye un crimen sin resolver, que para una aficionada a la novela polic\u00edaca es un regalo \ud83d\ude42 : el episodio de los Pr\u00edncipes de la Torre (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Princes_in_the_Tower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princes in the Tower<\/a>), es decir, Eduardo V y Ricardo de Shrewsbury, los sobrinos de Ricardo III que desaparecieron sin dejar rastro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Las teor\u00edas sobre lo que pudo ocurrirles son varias. La m\u00e1s extendida atribuye a Ricardo III el asesinato de ambos chiquillos, aunque esta idea actualmente est\u00e1 bastante cuestionada. Diferentes autores han planteado nuevas posibilidades y sospechosos que podr\u00edan haberse beneficiado de la desaparici\u00f3n de los dos ni\u00f1os: el Duque de Buckingham, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Margaret_Beaufort,_Countess_of_Richmond_and_Derby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Margaret Beaufort<\/a>, Enrique Tudor&#8230; Tambi\u00e9n es posible que los cr\u00edos no fueran asesinados, sino escondidos en alg\u00fan lugar del que no retornaron a la luz p\u00fablica (aunque el caso de <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perkin_Warbeck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Perkin Warbeck<\/a> trajo de nuevo a la palestra la posibilidad de que los ni\u00f1os hubieran sobrevivido).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inicialmente, los Pr\u00edncipes en la Torre iba a ser mi &#8220;proyecto de verano&#8221;. Pero el verano es mucho m\u00e1s corto de lo que una cree \ud83d\ude41 , y el tema, si se quiere abordar con detalle, exige mucha m\u00e1s lectura y reposo de lo que pensaba. Encima, el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HistoryofRoyals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">n\u00ba 18 de History of Royals Magazine<\/a> ha estado dedicado al misterio de los pr\u00edncipes,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eW9Cc4-Qzh0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew Lewis<\/a> est\u00e1 a punto de publicar <em>The Survival of the Princes in the Tower,<\/em> y <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnashdownhill.com\/johns-blog\/2017\/7\/22\/two-new-books-by-john-ashdown-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Ashdown-Hill<\/a> tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 preparando un libro del tema, as\u00ed que mejor me espero y me los leo \ud83d\ude42 . Lo que s\u00ed he podido preparar hasta el momento es esta cronolog\u00eda b\u00e1sica que abarca desde la muerte de Eduardo IV hasta la derogaci\u00f3n del Titulus Regius al comienzo del reinado de Enrique VII, y que me ha servido bastante para refrescar y aclarar ideas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Personalmente, me atrevo a decir que Ricardo III no fue el responsable de la muerte de ambos cr\u00edos: si realmente fuera as\u00ed, se habr\u00eda asegurado alguna cabeza de turco que cargara con la culpa del asesinato, en lugar de mantener esa actitud de <em>&#8220;Princes? What princes?&#8221;<\/em> que le perjudic\u00f3. Mientras que no aparezca nueva documentaci\u00f3n, en mi opini\u00f3n ser\u00e1 imposible averiguar qu\u00e9 sucedi\u00f3 realmente a Eduardo V y Ricardo de Shrewsbury.<\/p>\n<p>Las referencias que he utilizado son las siguientes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ashdown-Hill, J.

I do not know exactly why, but I love that mix of political plots, epic battles, strong characters (especially the female ones, not always well known) whose fate changes dramatically overnight, and it all happens in England (have I mentioned that I am slightly anglophile \ud83d\ude42 ?).\u00a0 Additionally, it\u00a0 includes an unsolved crime, which is a gift for an aficionada to detective fiction: the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Princes_in_the_Tower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princes in the Tower<\/a> issue, that is, how Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury, Richard III&#8217;s nephews, disappeared without a trace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several theories about what could have happened to the princes. The most widespread aims Richard III as the murderer of the kids, though currently this approach is very questioned. Different authors have raised new possibilities and suspects who might have benefitted from the disappearance of the kids: the Duke of Buckingham, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Margaret_Beaufort,_Countess_of_Richmond_and_Derby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Margaret Beaufort<\/a>, Henry Tudor&#8230; It is also possible that the boys were not killed, but hidden in some safe place from where they did not come back to public light (although the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perkin_Warbeck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Perkin Warbeck<\/a> case again brought to the fore the possibility that the children finally survived).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Princes in the Tower were my &#8220;summer project&#8221;. But summer is way much shorter than it seems \ud83d\ude41 , and this subject demands a lot of reading and thinking if studied thoroughly. On top of that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HistoryofRoyals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issue 18 of History of Royals magazine<\/a> has been devoted to the mistery of the princes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eW9Cc4-Qzh0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew Lewis<\/a> is about to publish <em>The Survival of the Princes in the Tower<\/em>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnashdownhill.com\/johns-blog\/2017\/7\/22\/two-new-books-by-john-ashdown-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Ashdown-Hill<\/a> is also writing a book on this topic, so I&#8217;d rather wait and read \ud83d\ude42 But what I have prepared up to this moment is this basic chronology that covers from Edward IV&#8217;s death to the repeal of the Titulus Regius in the beginning of Henry VII&#8217;s reign, which has served me well enough in order to refresh and clarify my ideas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would dare to say that Richard III was not responsible for the death of both kids: if that were really the case, he would had secured a scapegoat to take the blame of the murders, instead of keeping that &#8220;<em>Princes? What Princes?<\/em>&#8221; attitude that in the end damaged his reputation so badly. As long as no new documents come out to the light, in my opinion it will be impossible to know for sure which was the real fate of Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury.<\/p>\n<p>These are the references I have used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ashdown-Hill, J.
