Medieval Employment | The Best & Worst Jobs at the Tower in the 1200s

The Tower of London underwent significant change during the 1200s under the medieval kings, Henry III and Edward I. But the Tower wasn’t just home to knights and royals. Life in the medieval palace was only possible because of hundreds of servants who lived with king and queen, and followed the court wherever it went. But what was life like inside the medieval palace? Today we take a closer look inside the palace and objects from its past, to tell us what life could have been like working within the palace itself.
