"Edward V (2 November 1470 – c. 1483) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 9 April to 26 June 1483. He succeeded his father, Edward ...
IV, upon the latter´s death. Edward V was never crowned, and his brief reign was dominated by the influence of his uncle and Lord Protector, the Duke of Gloucester, who deposed him to reign as King Richard III; this was confirmed by the Act entitled Titulus Regius, which denounced any further claims through his father´s heirs.
Edward V and his younger brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, were the Princes in the Tower who disappeared after being sent to heavily guarded royal lodgings in the Tower of London. Responsibility for their deaths is widely attributed to Richard III, but the lack of any solid evidence and conflicting contemporary accounts allow for other possibilities." - (en.wikipedia.org 20.09.2020)
