Sorry for interrupting. This is Dave, content director on History Extra.com.

I just wanted to mention that we've produced an exclusive eight-part podcast

series called The Princes in the Tower a medieval murder mystery.

It contains kind of everything you want in a mystery doesn't it?

It's kind of a fairy tale.

There's an element of the brothers grim to it.

It's the story of a downfall of a

royal family, the House of York. It's the fall of a young innocent king

full of promise. It's got potentially gruesome murder,

it's got, you know, that kind of heart-string pulling element of the fate of children.

That is the irony. You know, you needed to be a ruthless man really to be an effective king

Obviously know the princess in the tower is the great mystery of the medieval age

We ran the first episode on our podcast feed on Tuesday the 6th of October and you can find the rest of the series on our website at
