Definition

Proper noun: - King of England (1470-1483): Edward V was the King of England for a very brief period in 1483. He became king at the age of 12 upon the death of his father, Edward IV, but was never formally crowned. He and his younger brother, Richard, Duke of York, were placed in the Tower of London by their uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who later became King Richard III. The two princes disappeared, and it is widely believed they were murdered there, making Edward V one of the "Princes in the Tower."
