Inspired by this post by @bunniesandbeheadings , a list of explanations for what happened to the Princes in the Tower:
They both fell down the stairs.
They murdered EACH OTHER.
Everyone who has been accused of murdering them turned up to murder them at the same time, only to find they had died of natural causes already, so they all backed out of the room without saying anything.
They escaped out of the window by tying bedsheets together.
They were murdered by George Duke of Clarence's ghost.
Aliens.
Autocannibalism.
Spontaneous human combustion.
The plot of season one of Blackadder is 100% factually accurate.
They were eaten by wolves.
A surge of improbability caused them both to turn into bowls of petunias.
They became companions of the Doctor and ended up settling down on a planet three galaxies away.
They are both still alive TO THIS DAY.

One Dress a Day Challenge
The Men of September
Blackadder II / Rowan Atkinson as Edmund, Lord Blackadder
Even though this is "just" a very funny comedy show, costume designer Annie Hardinge really gave it her all. The costumes are better and more authentic-looking than some seen in serious costume dramas. Lord Blackadder dresses all in black with touches of silver and red, which not only fits his personality but was very fashionable at the time. The snake-and-dagger design on his sleeves is really beautiful and intricate, as is the ornamentation on the cape. And he's got a proper ruff!
Note: The picture with Baldrick is actually from Blackadder's Christmas Carol, but it seems to be either the same costume or an identical one.

Favourite season of Blackadder?
Blackadder Goes Fourth. All of Blackadder is funny, but there's a reason why the Tories hate the show - because with the fourth season, the writers and actors reminded a whole new generation of the evils of the Great War and the complicity of the British establishment in the murder of a generation.
As the great-grandson of a man who came out of the tunnels at Ypres hating war, I think Blackadder Goes Fourth is a genuinely important work of art that fights for the hearts and minds of the people against the interests of military authority.
