Tales from the Tower of London

"Serving as both palace and prison, the Tower of London has been the site of more intrigue and terror than possibly any other place on earth. Tales from the Tower of London takes us behind the grim, grey walls of England's greatest fortress where we discover the true stories of some of the rebels, rogues, despots, lovers, spies and con-men who lived and died there, and whose often bloody fates have added to the Tower's sinister reputation." "Tales from the Tower of London explores the court intrigues, clandestine liaisons, unimaginable tortures and grisly executions which took place within the Tower and brings to life some of the most famous and infamous characters of its long and colourful past. Anyone who loves history and adventure will find this book a classic page turner."--Jacket.
