The 1516 will indicates that a chain belonging to Edward V was bequeathed by a member of Sir James Tyrell's family, raising questions about its provenance.
Prof Thornton noted, 'Their clothes, their belongings just seemed to disappear; no one ever seems to refer to them. This finding adds to the mystery of the princes' fate.'
The finding offers a rare glimpse into the fate of the princes' possessions, especially since their disappearance has long led to theories of murder and deceit.
The lingering debate over Richard III's involvement in the disappearance of Edward V and his brother now gains complexity with the discovery of this personal item.
