Richard III likely wanted the two young princes, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, dead to eliminate any threats to his claim to the throne. The boys were legitimate heirs of Edward IV, and their existence could rally opposition against Richard’s rule. By removing them, he aimed to secure his power and establish his legitimacy as king without the risk of rival claimants. This ruthless move would ensure that no one could challenge his authority.
