So, did he murder the princes in the tower, as Thomas More claims, or was he the victim of a Tudor frame up?

I'm an avid Rickardian and firmly believe that his history was rewritten by the Tudors in order to validate their tenuous claim to the British throne. What do you think?

Honestly, I really have not made my mind up on this subject. Yes I think he locked them in the tower, but I don't think he was as bad as the Tudor's made him out to be. I think that they died and that he never meant for it to happen.

Well yeah, they died, didn't they? They just recently found the skeletons of two teenage boys in the tower. Whether or not Richard ordered their deaths, they died and were buried there.

Ummm, recently? The skeletons were actually found in 1674 buried beneath a staircase. They were reinterred by Charles II in Westminster Abby and reexamined in 1933.

It started out as a gate, but two storeys and battlements were added later. Looks enough like a tower to me...
