Tower of London (Part 1)

The Tower was built in 1078 and enlarged over the next few centuries. It has been a prison, a palace, the site of political intrigue, and housed lions, bears, and (to this day) flightless ravens. Forty wardens are known as Beefeaters guard of the Tower and they live there.

It is not known when the ravens settled there but it is said that if they leave the Tower, the kingdom will fall.

The Tower has been a tourist attraction since the reign of Charles II (1660-85) when both the Crown Jewels and the collection of armour were fist shown to the public.

One of the Tower’s darkest mysteries concerns two boy princes, the sons of Eduard IV. They were put in the Tower by their uncle, Richard of Gloucester, when their father died in 1483. Neither was ever seen again and Richard was crowned later that year.
