Биография сэра Джеймса Тиррела ( материал из архивов  общества The Richard III Foundation, Inc.)

Sir James Tyrrel

The eldest son of William Tyrrel of Gipping, Suffolk, who claimed descent from Walter Tyrrel, the reputed slayer of William Rufus, Sir James was a strong Yorkist who, after the battle of Tewkesbury, was knighted for his services by Edward IV. He served as member of parliament for Cornwall in 1477. According to tradition, he arranged the murder of the sons of Edward IV.  In 1485 he was sent by Richard as lieutenant to the castle of Guisnes in France. After Bosworth he continued to be employed in this capacity by Henry VII, receiving a general pardon from him in 1486. He was implicated in the escape of the Duke of Suffolk, arrested after being tricked under a supposed amnesty and was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1502, being interred in the church of the Augustine friars.

TYRELL, James, kt. (ex. 1502)

Sir James fought for the Yorkists at the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury. Later, as a retainer of Richard of Gloucester, he was Master of the Henchmen and given the task by Richard of escorting the Countess of Warwick, Anne’s mother, back to Middleham castle, after her release from sanctuary. He is also the man credited with carrying out the murder of Edward IV’s sons on Richard’s orders. Henry VII had Tyrell executed in 1502, and then alleged after the deed that Tyrell had confessed to the crime of murdering the boys. This was not necessarily true, but was accepted by the playwright William Shakespeare.
