I keep reading in your messages references to the Plantagnets and the royal blood/lineage. Please note that The two Princes of the tower were imprisoned by their Uncle know as King Richard III of England, after the death of their father King Edward IV. Richard declared the marriage of Edward and his Queen Elizabeth Woodville (was not from Spain)invalid thereby marking the boys illegitimate and not in line of ascension. This move cleared the path for Richard's ascent. The War of the Roses and the reigns of Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII did much to eliminate all Plantangets/Tudors outside of their own immediate families in an effort to secure their own lineage. The events of the two princes occurred between 1483-1485. The War of the Roses spanned approx 1458-1485 ending when Henry Tudor and Elizabeth Plantagnet married. The two princes disappeared into the workings of the Towers and were never seen again, by all accounts the boys were murdered either by Richard III or Henry VII - to secure the crown. The princes did not immigrate to the Colonies (which by the way was more then 100 years away from the first settlement)nor did they have offspring who would have.
