England, and his brother Richard
in Fower of London, where they
were murdered.
On the way. the party was met
by Richard, Duke of Glouchester,
a small, misshapen man, with
cunning, cruel eyes. This Duke was
the younger brother of the dead
king and an uncle of the boy. He
explained that he was now regent
of England, because the new king
was only a boy, and accusing the
gentlemen who rode with little Ed
ward V of treason, he had them ar
rested, and himself took charge of
the boy-king.
The boy feared his ugly uncle.
But the Duke. of Glouchester pre-
tended to be kind, and told the
little king not to fear. He had him
carried to the Tower of London,
where the boy was to lodge until
the affairs Of his kingdom were
settled. But the boy knew that he

The queen, when she heard what
the Duke of Glouchester had done,
fled in terror with her second son,
whose name was Richard, to West
minister Abbey. She felt sure that
some evil would befall her elder
son. and determined to save her
second son.
Now the Duke was ambitious.
He wanted to be, not regent, but
king of England. Between him and
that ambition were these two
children. To slay them became
his master passion.
He first sent a kind bishop to
the queen, saying that the little
king in the Tower longed for his
brother to play with him. Most
reluctantly the poor queen gave
up her second son; and the two
little brothers clasped each other
in the Tower of London, and won

Then the Duke of Glouchester
spread the wicked lie that these
young princes we're not the sons Of
the dead king. He gathered about
him a weak party who declared
that he was the rightful king.
At last, in defiance of the whole
nation, the duke was crowned king
of England. But he could not rest.
He was Richard III. He wore the
crown. But the little boys still liv-
ed. The thought of them poisoned
his happiness and kept him jeal-
GUS and afraid.
One day he sent to the gov:
ernor of the Tower, telling him
that the princes were to be killed.
The governor refused to execute
this command. Then the king sent
another messenger, bidding the
governor deliver up the keys Of the
Tower for one night. This the gov.
ernor was obliged to do.
That night two murderers ap-
preached the Tower, and opened
the doors with the keys given them
by the king. They made a hole in
