    • King Richard III poisoned them just before the battle at Bosworth Field

    • The princes were widely rumoured to be murdered by Richard but it was never proven

    • Edward V became depressed and jumped down from the Tower while his younger brother cried himself to death

    • Henry VII ordered them to be executed so that he can be the rightful heir to the throne

    Correct Answer
    A. The princes were widely rumoured to be murdered by Richard but it was never proven
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that the princes were widely rumored to be murdered by Richard but it was never proven. This suggests that there is speculation and suspicion surrounding the fate of Edward V and his younger brother, but there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that Richard III poisoned them or ordered their execution. The lack of proof leaves their ultimate fate uncertain.

    • During King Richard III's reign

    • During the Stone Age

    • During the War of the Roses

    • During Tudor period

    Correct Answer
    A. During Tudor period
    Explanation
    King Richard III was written during the Tudor period. This can be inferred from the fact that the play was written by Shakespeare, who was a prominent playwright during the Elizabethan era, which was part of the larger Tudor period. Additionally, King Richard III's reign, the Stone Age, and the War of the Roses are all historical periods that occurred before the Tudor period, making them unlikely options for when the play was written.

This myth aims to idealize and romanticize the reign of the Tudor dynasty, particularly during the time of Queen Elizabeth I. By portraying this period as a time of prosperity, stability, and cultural achievement, the myth seeks to enhance the reputation and legacy of the Tudor monarchs and their rule. It also serves to create a sense of national pride and identity, emphasizing the importance of the Tudor era in shaping England's history and cultural heritage.
