While researching my novel on Anne Mowbray, the child bride of Richard of Shrewsbury, younger of the two Princes in the Tower, I found out several things I was previously unaware of. I knew, of course that young Anne’s burial was accidentally discovered in a crypt under a London bombsite that had disappeared. It was a famous and controversial find, and paved the way for modern archaeology to save…
