		Happy-go-lucky young Edward, Prince of Wales, was sent to Ludlow Castle in Wales to serve as the king's correspondent at the new Council of Wales, formed to help consolidate and organize his loyal servant's power.
		Be that as it may a proper consideration of the true fate of the princes is required and particularly of the man who is generally held responsible for their deaths, Richard Planatagenet, Duke of Gloucester and later king Richard III.
		After all the circumstances of the deaths of the two princes are strangely similar to that of a previous Plantagenet prince, Arthur of Brittany who arguably had a better claim to the throne than his uncle John; and John had Arthur imprisoned at Rouen in 1202, after which Arthur simply disappeared from view.

		Because the story of the princes in the tower was so well known, it was crucial to Richard III that Shakespeare make the princes memorable and engaging figures despite their youth and their relatively small roles in the story.
		Though Elizabeth remarks that her younger son is a “parlous boy,” meaning sharp or mischievous, the princes are never a threat to Richard, and they are unable to defend themselves against him (II.iv.

		In regards to what happened to the boys, maybe Henry VII was told of their location by someone trying to curry favor with the new king, and he ordered their elimination.
		Perhaps he even had the bodies brought back to the tower for burial so that in case they were ever found, the crime would appear to be Richard's.
		I've always felt that the princes could easily have been secured somewhere in England or out, and that their mother, Elizabeth, knew they were safe, so she allowed her other children to attend Richard's court.
