King Edward V was the son of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. At just 12 years old, Edward V accedes to the throne of England, following the death of his father. His uncle, Richard Duke of Gloucester, is declared Protector of England, until Edward comes of age. But tragedy dominates his short life and reign, his legitimacy is questioned, and his uncle seizes the throne. Within a few short months, Edward and his younger brother Richard, disappear at the Tower of London, leading to the long standing, medieval mystery ever since.

King Edward IV was the son of Richard, Duke of York and Cecily Neville. A tall, powerfully built king, Edward IV spent his two reigns fighting in the Wars of the Roses, in some of the bloodiest battles ever seen in England. Despite persistent rebellions from his brother, and disapproval of his marriage, King Edward IV ruled over a prosperous economy, once the fighting died down. His death came suddenly, and with his son and heir, Edward V, being too young, Edward’s brother, Richard became Lord Protector of England. This would lead to the final tale of medieval England.
