Shortly after the death of Edward IV in 1483, the notorious murder of the Princes in the Tower is traditionally believed to have taken place. The incident is one of the most infamous events associated with the Tower of London. [105] Edward V's uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester was declared Lord Protector while the prince was too young to rule. [106] Traditional accounts have held that the 12-year-old Edward was confined to the Tower of London along with his younger brother Richard. The Duke of Gloucester was proclaimed King Richard III in June. The princes were last seen in public in June 1483; [105] it has traditionally been thought that the most likely reason for their disappearance is that they were murdered late in the summer of 1483. [106] Bones thought to belong to them were discovered in 1674 when the 12th-century forebuilding at the entrance to the White Tower was demolished; however, the reputed level at which the bones were found (10ft or 3m) would put the bones at a depth similar to that of the Roman graveyard found, in 2011, 12ft (4m) underneath the Minories a few hundred yards to the north. [107] Opposition to Richard escalated until he was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 by the Lancastrian Henry Tudor, who ascended to the throne as Henry VII. [105] As king, Henry VII built a tower for a library next to the King's Tower. [108] Changing use [ edit ] Lapper, Ivan; Parnell, Geoffrey (2000). The Tower of London: A 2000-year History.

The Tuscan Gothic style building is the most spectacular building in the square. The innermost ward encloses an area immediately south of the White Tower, stretching to what was once the edge of the River Thames. As was the case at other castles, such as the 11th-century Hen Domen, the innermost ward was probably filled with timber buildings from the Tower's foundation. Exactly when the royal lodgings began to encroach from the White Tower into the innermost ward is uncertain, although it had happened by the 1170s. [15] The lodgings were renovated and elaborated during the 1220s and 1230s, becoming comparable with other palatial residences such as Windsor Castle. [22] Construction of Wakefield and Lanthorn Towers – located at the corners of the innermost ward's wall along the river – began around 1220. [23] [nb 1] They probably served as private residences for the queen and king respectively. Even if you don’t make it to the top of the tower, it is an incredible building to explore and well worth visiting on a trip to Florence. The White Tower is a keep (also known as a donjon), which was often the strongest structure in a medieval castle, and contained lodgings suitable for the lord – in this case, the king or his representative. [10] According to military historian Allen Brown, "The great tower [White Tower] was also, by virtue of its strength, majesty and lordly accommodation, the donjon par excellence". [11] As one of the largest keeps in the Christian world, [12] the White Tower has been described as "the most complete eleventh-century palace in Europe".
