Some time after the Norman Conquest in 1066 and before the end of the 11th century, the Tower of London was built. For the 800-ish years, it used as a prison to house some of the most famous figures in English history<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I’m not even going to attempt to write about the Tower’s long and distinguished history<\/a>. However, back in my osteology days, I attended an American Academy of Forensic Sciences<\/em> talk given by two who had examined the 1933 photographs of two sets of bones found during a 1674 construction. These two thought that the bones *possibly* belonged to the Princes in the Tower<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It’s really difficult to get conclusive information from the skeletons of children, let alone pictures (osteology was very tactile for me). The mystery may never be solved; however, if the bodies were interred in Westminster Abbey<\/a>, it sounds to me like minds have already been made up.<\/p>\n
