Edward V ascended to the throne as the King of England in April 1483 at the age of 12, following the death of his father, Edward IV. His reign was marked by the tumultuous political climate of the time, as he was never officially crowned due to the machinations of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who became Richard III. Edward and his brother Richard were taken to the Tower of London and disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leading to speculation and theories about their fate. The uncertainty surrounding his brief reign and eventual disappearance contributed to the enduring intrigue of the Wars of the Roses and the Tudor period.
