Tower of London

This guide to the Tower of London centers on Anne Boleyn, who returned here as queen just seventeen days before Henry charged her with adultery and treason, having stayed in these same lodgings for her coronation three years earlier. It follows her composure as she learns a swordsman has been summoned from Saint-Omer, and the courtyard's wider history: an imprisoned young Elizabeth I, and the queens and traitors who passed beneath these walls. Listen for the ravens still pacing the grounds as you take in nearly a thousand years of history here.
