There is evidence that shows that Perkin Warbeck had a good possibility of being Richard IV Duke of York. There is much discussion as to the true identity of Perkin Warbeck. He is first heard of in Europe at the age of 9 or 10. He later appears across Europe being identified as Richard Duke of York, son and heir of Edward IV of England. All of the heads of Europe were under the impression that he was Richard one of the "Princes in the Tower." He was supposedly sent to Europe in secret by his Uncle Richard III after his brother Edward V had died in captivity. The heads of Europe talked about his beautiful English language and princely behavior. He made many friends in both Europe and Ireland who tried to help him regain his throne. He married Lady Katherine Gordon, daughter of the Earl of Huntly and had one possibly two children. Everyone remarked about his close resemblance to Edward IV. He was tall and golden haired and carried himself in the same manner. He was captured by Henry VII and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Henry VII seemed reluctant to do anything else with him for a long time, although he was paying great attention to Perkin's wife, Lady Katherine. Eventually, some say with Henry VII's help Perkin escaped and was then recaptured and then sentenced to death. He was hanged at Tyburn where he made a "true" confession as to being an imposter. He was buried at the Church of Austin Friars in London. Who was he truly? There are many people on both sides of the discussion. My opinion is that he was truly the son of Edward IV, Richard IV Duke of York. Richard III was already King and the two boys were declared 'bastards.' So, he gained nothing by killing them. There are others who stood to gain a great deal if they were dead. But, I think that Richard, knowing this would have sent his surviving nephew to be raised abroad, (as he had been when he was young) and placed him with his sister Margaret of Burgundy.
