Came across this and thought that this might be of interest to some people.

The disappearance of two boy princes from the Tower of London in 1483 is
the greatest, most baffling and the longest running case of missing persons
in
the history of royal England. It is unsolved. Thirty years after their
disappearance, the claim was made in The History of King Richard III,
written by Sir Thomas More (1477-1535), that the princes were dead and how
they had died in the reign of that king. More than half a millennium later
new evidence is discovered (the so-called Holbein Codes) that More had
written his book to lay a smokescreen over the two York princes who had
NOT been killed, as More had falsely alleged, but had continued living under
assumed names and false identities into the reign of the Tudors. The
paintings of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543) have been known and
admired over a considerable period of time. The artist's secret method of
communication in 74 pictures is investigated systematically for the first
time. Jack Leslau explains and makes clear the cryptosystem. The central
theme concerns the two rightful heirs, Prince Edward V, also known as Sir
Edward Guildford, and the younger prince, Richard, Duke of York, also
known as Dr. John Clement, who had married More's adoptive daughter (not
legally adopted) Margaret Clement (née Giggs). Since More was indeed the
"father-in-law" of John Clement, if we want one safe and simple reason to
pull down a literary blind to protect his son-in-law in the reign of the
legal heir, Henry VIII -- that will do. If we want another - Judge William
Rastell, married to Winifred Clement, daughter of John and Margaret
Clement was Clement's son-in-law. William Rastell was Thomas More's nephew.
 Rastell, 1557 publisher of More's "Workes" 22 years after More's death,
finally
nailed down the blind in order to protect his father-in law and
mother-in-law and his children, presumably, but not his wife, sadly, who had
pre-deceased them. Judge William Rastell of the High Court of England
published a book of hearsay evidence, More's Richard, without comment that
it contributed nothing directly to the case since More was no more than six
years old at the time of the disappearance of the princes in 1483. The
personal and political information in the paintings has been decrypted in an
on-going method of investigation. Unusually, the remarkable royal history is
now "testable" - by DNA profiling. This is planned. Click on
