Theories about Unsolved Mysteries

[odyssey06]

Interesting theory about the fate of the 'Princes in the Tower':

King Richard III may not have killed the young 'Princes in the Tower' more than 500 years ago but instead allowed the older boy, Edward V, to live in secret under a false name in a rural Devon village, researchers have said... On March 3, royal documents show that Richard sent a follower on a mission from Yorkshire to Coldridge in Devon, which sits within Grey's seized lands. Soon after this event, John Evans suddenly appeared in the village, and was given the title Lord of the Manor, the researchers discovered. No record has been found of Evans' life before he arrived in Devon, with the prestigious titles, which also included 'Parker' of the 130-beast-strong deer park behind the church, appearing out of the blue. 'This man John Evans was given these prestigious titles despite apparently arriving out of the blue, which is odd to say the least,' Dike said. 'It is possible that Edward was sent here to live in secrecy as part of the deal that we know was agreed between Richard and his mother.'

English history researched and published by the Daily Mail, probably as accurate as the findings of the Widgererey Tribunal and as fair as the original trials of the Birmingham Six. It's also about as interesting a topic as the inverse ratio between the size of a hen's teeth and the cubic capacity of its eggs

Not everything in the Daily Mail is made up... football scores, weather, TV listings and the like may be relied upon.

Possible and probably and provable are very different things. There were plenty of illegitimate sons knocking around the place at that time, plenty of aristocracy that had to be paid off, so it is more likely that there is a different reason for John Evans to pop into the records out of nowhere. It could also just be due to bad record keeping.
