The Tower of London was founded in the 11 th century by William the Conqueror. The Tower in the past was a fortress, a palace, and a prison. The Tower has several towers: the Jewel Tower, where the Royal precious jewels are kept, the White Tower, in which the Kings of England held their Court, and others. One of the towers is called the Bloody Tower, where the king Edward V and his brother were murdered. Now the Tower is a museum and the Crown jewels and other treasures are kept there. The Guard, known as “beefeaters” still keep watch. The Ceremony of the Keys that is centuries old takes every night. Now the only inhabitants of the Tower are ravens. There is a legend that the Tower will fall if it loses its ravens. Therefore the birds with clipped wings are carefully guarded.
