One possible motive for Elizabeth Woodville subsequently making her peace with Richard and bringing her daughters out of sanctuary could be that Richard had to swear a solemn oath, before witnesses, to protect and provide for her surviving children, which made it much less likely they could be quietly murdered as it was believed their brothers had been.
Et muligt motiv for at Elizabeth senere forsonede sig med Richard og bragte sine døtre ud af asylet, kan være at Richard havde svoret en højtidelig ed foran vidner, at ville beskytte og sikre hendes overlevende børn, hvilket gjorde det meget mindre sandsynligt at de hurtigt ville blive myrdet, sådan som det mentes var sket med deres brødre.
