60. Edward V Of England

King Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville’s eldest son was born in Holland while his father was away. When Edward IV reclaimed his throne, he renamed his son Prince of Wales. However, after the king’s death, a disagreement arose between the child’s maternal and paternal uncles over the king’s marriage to Elizabeth. Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, were eventually imprisoned in the Tower of London. The boys’ skeletons were discovered in the tower in 1647, and it is assumed that they were murdered.

61. George Mallory

George Mallory was an experienced mountain climber and a schoolteacher in England. Before being recruited for the first major climbing expedition up Mount Everest in 1921, he had trained on the most difficult routes up the Alps. He embarked on his third expedition in 1924. On June 8, Mallory and another climber, Andrew Irvine, set out for the summit and were never seen again. They vanished, leaving the world to speculate about what happened on that fateful day, including whether they were the first climbers to reach the summit. Irvine’s axe was discovered in 1933 at a height of about 27,750 feet (8,460 meters), indicating that they did not make it to the summit and died.
