Edward V, (born November 2?, 1470, London, England—died 1483?), king of England from April to June 1483, who was deposed and possibly murdered by King Richard III.
The eldest surviving son of King Edward IV and Queen Elizabeth (Woodville), Edward was born at Westminster Abbey while his father, momentarily deposed, was in exile in Holland. In June 1471, after Edward IV had crushed his foes and reclaimed his crown, young Edward was made prince of Wales. The boy was sent with his mother to Ludlow, Shropshire, in 1473 to be titular ruler of Wales and the Welsh Marches (border region between England and Wales), and he seems to have stayed at Ludlow, except for brief intervals, for the remainder of his father’s reign.
Upon the death of Edward IV on April 9, 1483, the 12-year-old Edward became king, and his uncle Richard, duke of Gloucester, was made protector of the realm. Conflict between Gloucester and the Woodville nobles who dominated Edward V soon led the duke to arrest the leaders of the Woodville party and secure possession of Edward and his younger brother. The two princes were housed in the Tower of London, which at that time served as a royal residence as well as a prison.
Francis was the eldest son of nobleman George Hastings, 1st Earl 1544 and Anne, daughter of Henry Stafford 2nd Duke of Buckingham by Catherine Woodville, sister of Queen Elizabeth Woodville wife of Edward lV (his mother m2 Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford; m3 Sir Richard Wingfield of Kimbolton Castle; She was the great-granddaughter of Humfrey Stafford 1st Duke of Buckingham 1460 & Anne Neville.
Francis was a favourite of Henry Vlll. In 1513, his mother Anne was the courtier who received the king’s second most expensive New Year’s gift. Later, In 1529, the king made his father 1st Earl of Huntingdon, and in 1530, he was also given stewardship over two abbeys.
His tomb was `restored’ in 1698 by the 6th Earl when it was placed against the wall beneath a mural monument with armorial bearings.
Edward V’s brief reign came to an end on June 26, when an assembly of lords and commons, accepting Gloucester’s claim that Edward IV’s marriage was invalid and his children illegitimate, proclaimed Gloucester King Richard III. Soon afterward the two princes disappeared from the Tower forever. It is possible they were murdered by Richard’s agents in August 1483, but responsibility for the crime has also been attributed to the powerful Henry Stafford, duke of Buckingham, and to Richard’s successor, King Henry VII. Skeletons found in the Tower in 1674 are thought to be those of Edward and his brother.
The fact of the matter is it appears by this story alone that the historians may have made up a lot of stories regarding the British monarchy. I include the history, but NOTE, like all things told by my colonisers, many of the historical facts may very well be made of pseudo-history.

Disclaimer: True Race Facts have made the long overdue honest determination that the King was dark brown, aka BLACK of the Hebrew, Shemitic negro race. Based on his facial phenotype, lips and thick braided hairstyle. Authentic original coins are the most accurate determination to identify the King because he would have approved the coins before they were hammered and issued. There are many ancient FAKE coins on the market, so beware when looking at coins. The deceivers made it their mission to cover up the dark ages, so even history should now be considered pseudo-history.
