The Most Dangerous Prisoner of the Tower of London

Since the 13th century, the Tower of London has housed numerous royal gems. In 1066, William the Bastard, later known as William the Conqueror, conquered England and ordered the construction of the Tower of London to establish his new rule with a massive oppressive structure. The White Tower was completed in 1100 and served as a royal residence for many monarchs over the next 500 years. However, it gained notoriety as a prison in the late 19th century.
