fortress in London. Now it’s a
museum of armour

and also the place where
Crown Jewels are kept. It comprises not one,
but 20 towers. The oldest of which, the White
Tower. Many stories associated with British
history come from the Tower. In 1483 King
Edward IV's two sons were murdered in the
so-called Bloody Tower. Of course, no visit
to the Tower would be complete without
seeing the ravens; huge black birds. Legend
states that if the ravens were to leave the
Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with
it. Under the special care of the Raven
Master, the ravens are fed a daily diet of raw
meat. And there is no danger of them flying
away, because their wings are clipped.

between 1238 - 1272
The Bloody

Tower was originally named the
Garden Tower. But was given this nickname
from the murderous events which were
believed to have occurred in the building. It
is believed to first derive its name from the
suicide in it of Henry Percy. It was
then  believed to be the scene of the murder
of the two little Princes in the Tower –
Edward V and his brother the Duke of York.
Finally it was believed that Henry VI also
met his death here. Others who suffered
imprisonment or death in the Bloody Tower
included: Henry Percy died there in
mysterious circumstances in 1585; Hanging
Judge Jeffreys , Sir Thomas Overbury, poet
and many others.
