Murder of the Two Princes in the Tower - (Die Söhne Eduards IV.) - painted by Hildebrandt, 1850. 'Considerable doubt was entertained of the death of the Princes long after Richard III. himself had ceased to exist; and the story of Perkin Warbeck, claiming to be one of them, was thought in his own time to be true, and is, even in our day, believed to have been so. The "Bloody Tower," supposed to have been the scene of this catastrophe, and to have received its name in consequence, was called the "Garden Tower" for nearly a century afterwards, and only received the name of "Bloody" in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The bones found under the staircase, and which were supposed to corroborate the truth of the story, were found in a different part of the fortress - at the south side of the White Tower'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
