c. 700 BC Romulus (the founder and first king of Rome) (Romulus is a legendary character and not all information about him is necessarily historical) At least 60 Rome While Romulus was reviewing his troops in the Campus Martius (near where the Pantheon is now), a sudden storm with lightning and thunderclaps arose. A thick, black cloud hid him from view and no one saw him again. Some nearby observers said that he had been swept away by the tempest. Livy and Plutarch say Romulus's generals may have used the opportunity to assassinate him. [1]
30 BC Alexander Helios 10 Egypt Helios and Philadelphus, sons of Cleopatra and Mark Antony and the younger half-brothers of Caesarion, left Egypt for Rome, after which their fates are unknown. [2]
Ptolemy Philadelphus 6
108–164 Legio IX Hispana (9th Legion – Spanish) Various Roman Empire The Roman legion stationed in Roman Britain, following the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43, disappears from surviving records without explanation in the second century. There are multiple conjectures regarding what happened to it and why no record of its fate has been found. Many references to the legion have been made in subsequent works of fiction. [3]
1021 Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah 36 Cairo, Egypt The sixth Fatimid caliph and 16th Ismaili imam rode his donkey to the Mokattam hills for one of his regular nocturnal meditation outings and failed to return. A search found only the donkey and his bloodstained garments. [4]

Chroniclers describe his wife's death, but not his. [5]

Zhu Wenkui 6
1412 Owain Glyndŵr 56 Wales The last native Welsh person to hold the title Prince of Wales, Glyndŵr instigated the Welsh Revolt against the rule of Henry IV of England in 1400.

1483 Edward V of England 12 London, England The Princes in the Tower, Edward V of England and Richard of Shrewsbury, sons of King Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville, were placed in the Tower of London (which at that time served as a fortress and a royal palace as well as a prison) by their uncle Richard III of England. Neither was ever seen in public again and their fate remains unknown. The remains of four children which have been found could be the princes, but they have not been subjected to DNA analysis to positively identify them. [11][12]
Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York 9
1487 Lord Lovell 31 Oxfordshire, England Lord Lovell, a rebel Yorkist knight, was last seen alive fleeing from the Battle of Stoke Field after defeat by the Lancastrians. In 1488 he was granted safe conduct in Scotland by King James IV but there is no evidence he was ever in the country.

1526 George Zápolya 37–38 Hungary Brother of John Zapolya, He was relegated to the political life besides his brother. He was engaged to Elisabeth Corvinus, daughter of John Corvinus, in 1504, but the last surviving member of the Hunyadi family died in 1508. He was commander of the Hungarian Royal Army, along with Archbishop of Kalocsa Pál Tomori, at the Battle of Mohács, where he disappeared and presumably died. Court chaplain Miklós Tatai believed that Zápolya murdered King Louis II of Hungary, who escaped from the battle, in the house of the vicar in Dunaszekcső. Historians do not accept this report as credible. [14]
1578 Sebastian of Portugal 24 Ksar el-Kebir, Morocco King of Portugal who reigned from 1557 to 1558 and an example of the king asleep in mountain legend. He was likely killed during the Battle of Alcácer Quibir, but his body was never retrieved. [15]
c. 1590 Roanoke colonists Various Roanoke Colony, North Carolina, U.S. The Roanoke colonists, including Ananias age 27–30, Eleanor age 19, and Virginia Dare age 2 or 3, the first English child born in a New World English overseas possession, disappeared becoming known as the Lost Colony. On 18 August 1590, their settlement was found abandoned. The settlement was located on Roanoke Island, currently part of Dare County, North Carolina. [16]
1628 David Thompson 35 Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. The founder of the New Hampshire colony in 1623, Thompson moved his family to an island in Boston Harbor (today called Thompson Island in his honor) in 1626 becoming the first European settlers of Boston, Massachusetts. He disappeared in 1628. Some historians theorize he was the victim of foul play while others suggest he accidentally drowned in Boston Harbor. [17]
16 November 1629 Wouter Loos 24 Kalbarri, Western Australia, Australia The Batavia was a ship built in Amsterdam and chartered by the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) as its flagship which was shipwrecked off the coast of Australia in 1629 during its maiden voyage en route to Batavia (today Jakarta), capital of the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia); after this, one of the passengers, a man named Jeronimus Cornelisz staged a mutiny and took over leadership of the group of survivors after which he established an authoritarian regime during which he committed atrocities that included rape and the murder around 125 of the original 301 survivors; after a final battle with opponents of Cornelisz led by a VOC soldier named Wiebbe Hayes and the unexpected arrival of a rescue ship Cornelisz and most of his supporters were defeated, captured, tried and executed.

However, the trial decided that the crimes of two of the mutineers, Wouter Loos (who had assumed leadership of the mutineers after Cornelisz was captured) and a cabin boy named Jan Pelgrom de Bye, were not serious enough to warrant their executions and they were instead marooned in mainland Australia on November 16, 1629 with a small amount of supplies after which they were never seen or heard from again. Their marooning made them the first European permanent residents of Australia; the location where they were marooned is uncertain but the most commonly-accepted point is at the mouth of the Wittecarra Creek near Kalbarri although the area around Port Gregory has also been suggested as a possibility.

[18][19][20][21]

1653 Erdeni Bumba Unknown Horchin, Mongolia The first empress consort of Shunzhi Emperor, but she fell out of favor because of her personality.

After encountering a series of rapids Ménard and his guide agreed that he would walk downstream on shore while his more skilled companion brought the boat through. The latter passed the rapids successfully but Ménard was never seen again. Years later, his cassock and breviary were discovered in a Dakota village far from the scene. [22]
c. 1692 Abigail Williams 11–12 Salem Village, Massachusetts, U.S. Abigail Williams was one of the first girls to make accusations of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, eventually leading to the start of the Salem witch trials.
