8PM Lucy Worsley Investigates

^

British historian Lucy Worsley reopens some of the most dramatic — not to mention brutal — chapters in British history in this two-part special, which concludes next Friday. In each hour, Worsley uncovers forgotten witnesses to past events for a fresh perspective on what happened, after reexamining old evidence and following new clues. In tonight’s opener, “Princes in the Tower,” she tries to discern the true fate of the two young royals who, according to Shakespeare’s “Richard III,” were murdered by their ruthless uncle, Richard of Gloucester.
