Can never exceed the Tower of London without shuddering for all the horrors that took place within its walls. People do not just cut his head - something that should be less than Merry. They were extensively tortured in a way that you are weak, would be to read about them. Thus, although the Beefeaters - all ex-commander of the police - Jolly and say, look, Nice and a good son, remember that this place has seen some of the terribleEnglish history. A story that is anything but bloodless.
Tower of London was home to every monarch from William the Conqueror - the Norman, the country has taken over in 1066 to beat his horse by Harold Hastings with a second angle "andful his eyes like a folk poetry of the past century - Henry VIII in the 16th century began the tradition of the arrival of other women, still seen by some sectors of the royal family participated in thisDay
The tower was also the scene of the Mint has made public register of the royal menagerie and the Royal Observatory. It 's the most famous, also received a historic building in the world.
William the Conqueror began to work for three months after his arrival in 1066 and a tower - later became the White Tower, as Henry III, was imported Caen stone is white - was built for the Anglo - Saxon people had anew sheriff in town.
Initially, it was the earth and wood - was still standing walls of the Roman city of Londinium Augusta, and helped create a foundation.
was published, in fact, John Stow in his "Journey A survey of London for the first time in 1598, refers to it, although he said there is no evidence to support the theory.
But at least we can say that it is very likely that a strong in some way, since Roman times, and that at least some ofThe bricks in the wall of the date of this period.
Then there was the tower, now the White Tower and it is here that the king went into a full-time residence. The castle has been amended several times and has the extension. It 's a happy thought that if the planning insisted today there was no Tower of London. It would be a mound of earth and some stone walls. Today, you can use the White Tower, which was completed in 1097, responsible, and the screen has a collection of armor andArmas.
Then there's the Bloody Tower where Richard III was the drowning of the young princes Edward V and his younger brother in 1483, so that I can do for the throne.
This is an obvious propaganda, which was written by William Shakespeare to curry favor with the monarchy. Richard III, probably not drown the prince and he was not sure of a collision. read by an alternate version of her daughter Josephine Tey's time. "Mark, this is probably wrong andBut since nobody knows the truth, at least, is an acceptable theory.
Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned 1603-1616, during the time he wrote "The history of the world." He was under house arrest, imprisonment than real. He had two servants, and his wife and two children often stayed with him.
It 'was released during an expedition to find El Dorado fiction. Concluded that no, when he returned, he ran as an encouragement to othersExplorers.
The ditch was an open sewer, the Duke of Wellington, once a man of direct action, which was empty.
And the famous ravens do not drag the tower of their own volition. Cut the wings. This does not lead to a welcoming environment and is known to allow attacks on the visitors left. Personally, I think they are the souls of the dead in the ruins of the castle, but I'm a Celtic and always superstitious.
One of the main attractions of the Tower are the CrownJewels, which are housed the Duke of Wellington Barracks. Among them, the royal scepter, the largest diamond in the world.
The imperial crown in 1838 for the coronation of Queen Victoria and, with 3,000 precious stones as the world's largest cut diamond. And the Kohinoor diamond, which is located in the crown for the coronation of George VI, Queen Elizabeth (now Queen Mother) in 1937.
The people of India, whichHe was dismissed, "enough to return. It will be online soon with the Greeks, until the Elgin Marbles.
breakpoint unit is the crown jewel would be a great wheeze, but it would be very difficult to fill. In 1671, Colonel Thomas Blood managed, jewelry, while the spring before being arrested. It 'been a real home, the idea was that the recommended sentence of Charles II, who was much idle time a bit' short.
Few executionsthe tower were in the Tower Green. You where the block is a bronze plaque were selected. Unlike regular public executions, the equivalent is the Cup final, the performance was observed at the Tower of the privileged, too.
While the start - pardon the pun - the criminals have been significantly reduced in the loop. The rest will be held in Tower Hill, outside the tower, allowing thousands of spectators a better view.
ATower is the latest in history gallery, which opened in 1978 to 900 years the Tower. Despite the cooling exciting. La Torre is a bad place.
We Ceremony of the Keys, which took place at 10 am every night more than 700 years, though it seems, is a night in the Blitz of World War II, when the service was discontinued.
It 's a very impressive ceremony, if you can arrange to view. It is not easyworth the candle.
