[quote=""Madeleine""]Yes someone did get done in with a red hot poker where the sun don't shine

I think it was one of the Edwards but can never remember which one

Yes, that would be Edward II, as instigated by Isabella or her lover, Mortimer, when Edward was imprisoned. The method by which Edward died is unknown, and I think the red-hot poker is generally regarded as just urban legend, but who knows how Edward died? Another one of those mysteries that people can make a good story with, regardless of what they really believe. (just editing to add that I didn't see BB's reply to this yesterday, but now see it clear as day -- I must be blind!).
Just adding, to be on topic, that the History Channel aired a great program on the princes in the tower. Not sure how old it is, but it's one of those programs that makes me stop whatever I'm doing and just sit and watch every time I chance upon it. I think it covers most of the major theories out there. I'm not sure what I believe. I did have fun reading Tey's version of it via Inspector Grant's investigations, though. Not sure I buy the concept that you can read that much into someone's facial expressions -- especially of an old painting which may or may not be a faithful portrait.
