I'd love to hear your theories on what you think happened to the princes in the Tower. What happened? Who was responsible for their disappearance/death? That kind of stuff. I cannot wait to see all your responses. No reply is a bad one, I truly want to hear what you've heard.

This doublet is a rare example of sixteenth-century male clothing, very little of which has survived. The cut of the doublet, particularly the protruding "peascod" waist, is typical of fashionable costume of the 1570s and 1580s."
