Tower of London K-Rated by William & Martha

For more info, news and offers visit http://www.kidrated.com William and Martha visit the Tower of London. Founded nearly a millennium ago when the first foundations were laid in 1078, The Tower of London has been expanded upon over the centuries by many kings and queens. William The Conqueror decided he needed a stronghold to keep the citizens of London in line and the site he chose to build on, Claudius, the Roman Emperor, had used as a fortress more than a thousand years before. In fact traces of the Roman wall are still seen within the Tower grounds. The addition of other smaller towers, extra buildings, walls and walkways, gradually transformed the original building into the splendid example of castle, fortress, prison, palace and finally museum that we enjoy today. IT HAS been used as a fortress , used to imprison (for many an accused, it was the last sight they saw on earth), as a home for kings and queens, and as a royal mint and treasury. Originally, the caps at the top of the four turrets were conical, but were replaced by the present onion-shaped ones in the sixteenth century. It was Henry III that renamed the entire area the Tower of London. Although he used it as a prison, he continued to use it as a palace and entertained guests and many came with gifts of animals. These gifts were kept near the drawbridge where he built Lion Tower; a zoo where visitors would be greeted by roaring beasts. Today it houses the Crown Jewels and is keeper to the Royal Ravens. Today the official title of the Tower is still 'Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London'.
