For nearly 1000 years, the tower of London has been the site of the bloody executions of some of England’s most famous historic figures. And many of the tower’s victims were laid to their final rest within the walls, never to escape the prison where they met their tragic end. A King, 3 Queens, A Prince, 5 dukes and many more noble men and women were buried here. Let’s meet them and learn how they met their doom at the tower of London.
King Edward V & Prince Richard, Duke of York (1483)

Thomas More (1535)
Cardinal John Fisher (1535)
Queen Anne Boleyn (1536)
George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford (1536)
Thomas Cromwell (1540)
Margaret Plantagenet, Countess of Salisbury (1541)

Thanks girl😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Qq ok let's talk about with the remember all the British royal family is
When I think about the Princes in the Tower, I often think about Elizabeth Woodville. Imagine, as a mother, having had your children taken away from you "for their own good," and after a while, never hearing about them no matter how many times you inquire, hearing people never even see them anymore and then going the rest of your life not even knowing what became of them or where their bodies are if they were really dead. Not to mention, the pretenders who keep popping up, claiming to be one son or the other, giving you false hope and dragging their names through the mud. It sounds totally heartbreaking. Bless their souls, mother and sons.
Bah, humbug. Elizabeth Woodville and her family were just as likely to have been ruthlessly ambitious and calculating without a speck of real sentiment. I was quite surprised at how unquestioningly and uncritically anti-Richard III this video was.
@NancyPollyCy What does the behaviour of her family have to do with her loving them as their mother? Gtfoh with all of that shite.
It's bizarre how people ignore the fact that the princes's sisters seem to have gotten along fine with Richard and his wife and that Elizabeth never accused Richard of killing her sons. But she was banished from court by Henry Tudor, who would have had even more reason to kill the princes than Richard since Tudor declared the boys legitimate. And there's the little matter of all the people in Burgundy who claim that Richard of Shrewbury was there. There's less claim about Edward being in Ireland, but those claims exist too. I don't know for sure what happened, but I certainly don't think it for sure Richard had his nephews murdered and didn't bother to claim they were dead and produce bodies. @@NancyPollyCy
@@Mindy-kc8cqin medieval time girls weren’t considered as much of a threat so the treatment of the girls would have been better. And chroniclers never said how close the relationship Richard had with his nieces only that after the death of Queen Ann, Richard was rumored to have considered marrying his niece
@@NancyPollyCypossibly but there is no real proof of this.
He literally changed the law to have her executed! I knew Henry did a lot of terrible things but damn
Catherine Howard's remains may have been missed and may still lay undisturbed beneath the chapel floor. They may have been slightly moved to accommodate all the other burials and weren't excavated.
My Dad took me to see the Tower of London when I was aged 11. It was a cold November day which made the Tower seem even more atmospheric and eerie. It still captures my imagination despite now being 63 😊
Interestingly it was actually built by Vikings
@@wendyHew It was built by William the Conquror.
Where did you read that it was built by the Vikings 🤔
I am from the UK and have a degree in history so I am rather puzzled.
I am still waiting for the day when I’ll get to visit the tower. It’s been a lifelong dream
The Goosebumps book A Night in Terror Tower is based off the princes' story. It's about a pair of siblings named Sue and Eddy who slowly learn they were once members of the York family (in the Goosebumps universe) and were about to suffer the same fate until they are saved by a wizard. It was made into a two part episode in the TV series while the book has a happier ending.
What's the book title? I love Goosebumps and new books. Please tell me. Thank you.
@@ChibiProwl A Night in Terror Tower
Ohhhh i love Goosebumps books! I remember this one! My fave! I love the TV series too!
Thank you for sharing!
The monument to those killed inside the Tower, normally is a water feature. It is a quiet place, easily overlooked. Thank you for showing it.
The Tower of London was essentially king Henry the 8th personal morgue. Holy crap
Your videos on England's history are my all time favorite of yours Lindsay! You manage to pack SO much information into short videos. . And you're such a natural story teller girl! I could seriously hear you talk about paint drying and love it!
I just started rewatching the Tudors and it’s so interesting yet sad to know how many lives Henry VIII took… thank you for this video. So amazingly done.
Ggthj😂❤🎉😅😊 I know you always been right
Not historically accurate. Fun show though.
@@NessaBear90 Very aware of this, I just thought it was a cool coincidence since I’m rewatching the show
@@laedollchick Understood ☺️
3:49 oh that’s an amazing pic of Charlie you got there lmao😭😭 rly hope he allows that examination
I did a late night ghost tour at the tower a few years ago, guided by the guards. It was amazing.
My dad and I went to London for the coronation! So cool that you got to go as well!
I am excited at the prospects that we may have some idea of what happened to the Princes in the Tower. Finally putting that mystery to bed. We may not entirely know what happened to them but at least where they now rest.
George Boleyn: * Helps sentence Thomas Moore to be executed *
Thomas Moore: * Executed and buried in the chapel *
George: * Exectued and buried in the chapel near Thomas *
Thomas: Well, well, well... lookie who
(Sorry, I'm petty lol) 😂😂😂😂
Lolllll😂
It’ll probably be covered in the next episode, but I love the bit that Edward Seymour and John Dudley, who each led Edward VI’s government in his stead, are also buried in this chapel. Edward Seymour was Lord Protector, but got ousted by John, and then Edward Seymour was declared a traitor and executed on John’s orders. John was then executed for his role in trying to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne instead of Mary. I like to imagine Edward Seymour laughing at the irony.
That's horrible, funny but horrible.😂😊
🤣🤣🤣I giggled way to hard at this
It's always very eerie to see a place where people get executed but it's more heartbreaking when you realize most of them were victims of greedy people who will do anything to get their way😒 *looks at Henry VIII*
Margaret Pole running away is a bit of gossip not believed by most serious historians. She is a blessed and a martyr and was beheaded by a novice, so it was brutal.
Every time I cook I listen to your videos Lindsay and I just have to say Thank You!❤
I'm going to visit the Tower on Halloween, I love Plantagenet and Tudor history so I'm really looking forward to it
The Tower of London is top of my list of places to visit the next time I travel down to London.
Sir Thomas More’s head was NOT spiked to Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge was not built until the late 1800’s. It was London Bridge.
I love Royal History. You're the only channel I don't get mad at when She who must not be named comes up 😂 I'll let her be eventually, not now, though.
I remember the portrayal of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury in the historical fiction tv series The White Princess and The Spanish Princess. You definitely felt sorry for her because she was frequently put in the middle of precarious situations and she took care of her mentally disabled brother who was eventually executed. She had this kind of sorrow that was always hanging over her. Knowing her fate and how her execution was handled just make those portrayals all the more distressing.
Hi Lindsay! I appreciate your videos so much. Could you please make one on Queen Maria II of Portugal?
Bruh poor Margaret Pole was brought into the world and didn't get a seconds rest. Ol girl just wanted peace and quiet but her family connections kept her in danger at all times
I lived in an Irish neighborhood on the far south side of Chicago, Beverly.
Two of the parishes there were St. John Fisher and St. Thomas Moore.
Oh my god. I’ve been waiting for a video about the tower. I work there and it’s still so magical I have to pinch myself. I hope u enjoyed the tower 💗
Love listening to your videos while working 😊
Oh wow, it’s crazy how someone can just chop off another’s head and the crowd who could all be next be howling for it to happen. Anyways thanks for another amazing video Lindsay! You never fail! 😊❤💕
Really enjoyed this episode, looking forward to seeing the rest of the series
Hoping to do Lady Jane Grey soon.
this is something i've always been curious about!! thank you for the content- just what i needed after an exam!
In my Hometown, we have a Catholic Primary school, St John Fisher's, and a Catholic High school, St Thomas More's. Never realised til I was an adult where those names came from....even though at my Catholic school (St Christopher's) we did learn about the Tudors. Just the Kiddie Friendly version 😂
Oh, I like the in-person shots!
Anne Boleyn wasn't executed on Tower Green.
The present day gravelled parade ground between the White Tower and the Waterloo Block is where Anne Boleyn met her death
It's between 2 buildings just outside of the building where the crown jewels are kept.
What a wonderful scholar you are with such a pleasing voice and delivery! And thanks to Holbein this video is full of excellent likenesses! Thank you!
Do a video on those held and killed at edinburgh castle. My ancestor Lady Janet Douglas was burned at the stake on its grounds
She requested to practice laying her head on the block what the hell man I would be requesting help
All of the stories are tragic, but the Countess of Salisbury's in particular is brutal.
The tower of London is like the number one place I want to visit in the world.
I got to visit here 5 years ago and was not aware there was a shrine under the chapel! Fascinating video!
There is no head so noble that I can make it roll.
On The Tudors, Henry said he wanted Francis Durham to have the more brutal death bc he "ruined her for him”
That's actually Francis Dereham.
Have been to the Tower in 2019 but would really like to revisit after watching your video. So much more to see armed with this information.
Hiii Lindsay... I have a request. Can you do a video detailing all of the sultans and female consorts
of the ottoman empire?
Absolutely love your channel ❤
Day 11 of asking for mother in laws of Henry viii
The first one was Isabella of Spain, of course
Basically only two of them have anything close to interesting information. For Anne B, Jane, and the latter two Vatherinew their mothers stories are pretty much ‘born on X year, married Y, had Z number of children, died’
@@theresaortego2674 Isabella Of Castille??
Isabella of castille and Elizabeth howard Anne boleyns mom and cathwri
several nobles buried in underneath the Tower of London
I just want 1 hour with Henry and a few torture devices
Knowing in what condition Henry was at his later years, he had enough issues.
Another great video ! Keep going with the good content !❤️💅🏻
I hate that monument. It just doesn't go with the rest of the location. The tower hill one fits the location much better
Ok legitimate question I have had that no one can answer. If the excuse of K Howard not being a fully formed skeleton is the reason she can’t be found how can the princes of the tower’s bones be found??? Riddle me this. I think K Howard was dug up and stolen.
The bones of the princes were found in the tower itself then transferred then buried without the quicklime. Catherine Howard was buried directly after execution and over covered in a medieval version of quicklime plus her youth equals no bones.
Thank you ❤😂
My friend did a painting of Ann Boleyn at school!
Thank you so much.
💐
20:17 I watched a documentary that explained this is not very likely to be true, I can't remember what it was called though...They said that lime actually slows down the decay of bodies, even though it has been thought to do the opposite for a while. Also the ground seemed to preserve the others quite well and it wouldn't make sense for just her to disintegrate. Maybe they just missed her 🤷🏼♀️ If I find the documentary, I'll attach a link 👍
I might have seen the documentary you are looking for. It is from History Calling. At least have seen one there stating what you mentioned in your comment. I think it was one of the early ones…
@@melb3228History calling she said the lime might've broken down Katherine's bones more quickly
Anybody else having trouble buffering the Maria Theresa podcast ep on Google Pod? My other series seem fine but that ep just will not load.
I hope so
Margaret Pole did not run. The executioner was inexperienced, and hacked at her neck and shoulders until she was finally beheaded. Suzie Edge, author of Mortal Monarchs and Vital Organs talks about it.
Great video Lindsey 😁😁😁😁 and I love British history as I am from England 🇬🇧⚽
It would be interesting to know the stories of non nobles who were executed, at the tower or otherwise.
This one was a really amazing, informative video. l always learn so much more from you; which really isn’t a surprise.
Can you do a video about the late thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej
I went to the tower of London a couple weeks ago on my honeymoon. Still extremely disappointed how wheelchair inaccessible it is. I understand why but I always dreamed of going there and to be able to see so little of it makes me sad. I should've saved my money and just watched this video
History is a horrible horrible interest to have as a wheelchair user.
Hello Lindsay, is it possible to make videos about mothers and sons / fathers and daughters/ mothers and daughters / fathers and sons fighting about power : Ferdinand of Aragon and Joanna the Mad , Louis XIII and Marie of Medicis / Georges I and Georges II / queen Mary II agaisnt James II / Murad IV and Kosem Sultan / Ibrahim I and Kosem Sultan / Empress Irene and her son / Agrippina and Nero / Henri II of England against his sons / catherine the great against Paul I / Wu zetian agains't her sons etc... thank you !
Talk about the haunted mansion
Such a disgusting place where people were executed for NO Proper Reason..... most of them were victims of injustice
The men executed with George Boleyn were not thrown into a pit they were buried on tower green as it was a graveyard mark smeaton Norrie's ,Weston bereton graves were clearly seen by Anne .also the beefeaters at the tower say the same aswell .as do many history books
❤
" Here lies Henry the 8th Murder Victims"

A lot of people

It’s NOT “ Ad VIKula” it’s “ Ad VIN kula” with an N “!

rest in peace so sorry ops
That is not how monarch is pronounced
Holly shit Margaret went out like a badass sucks she was executed simply to spite her son
The story of the Princes in the Tower will always be interesting because we will never know for sure what happened (just as many other history moments lol), but the different interpretations will always be debated. In 'The White Princess' series they focus more on Margaret Beaufort ordering their deaths, and of Perkin Warbeck, linked to Elizabeth Woodville and Elizabeth of York sneaking Richard out. We'll never know for sure, as the video touches on, there are too many different myths to find and the lack of historical evidence. They should examine the bones of the children in the tomb, they can not only trace it to the bodies already there but to the existing royal members now too, to see if someone had kindly(!) murdered them and buried them with their parents, or if it's two other people. I don't know why the church and RF have said no, it's not like they have anything to hide for a 500+ year old murder....
The white princess is pretty much historical fiction. It’s like Bridgerton, based on history to a certain extent, but mostly fictional. Even Richard, who had every reason to want to blame Margaret, could find no evidence that she was involved.
For a start, it portrays Elizabeth and Henry as hating eachother, when by all accounts they were quite smitten with eachother from minute one. Their first child was born eight months after their marriage so they clearly got along. Also, Elizabeth woodville was never imprisoned in Westminster Abbey by Margaret Beaufort, that simply never happened. She chose to retire to Bermondsey Abbey for the last 5 years of her life, probably because after spending most of her adult life almost being executed or seeing her children die, she wished to spend the last few years of her life in religious penance as was common for noble and royal women of the time. Most of the events in the miniseries were either fictional, heavily dramatised, or historically inaccurate
It's a total myth about Catherine Howard's remains
Oh My, Thomas and George Boleyn could be as cruel as Anne (or worse). The siblings shouldn’t have been killed, ofc, but they were cruel
I love history but omg her voice 🙉
pls stop with this voice you use :(((( i love your videos but i mute them and read CCs instead
I am so bored and tired of british royals and history that I no longer find joy to check on this page , Europe and Asia has so many royals and history from ancient times to the 1900's and even today that could fill a channel content for ever , but no , we have to see those boring brits every single day......
Go create your own content and stop whining.
I'm sorry, but the presenter's nasal vocal fry was so distracting I couldn't continue watching the video. In all sincerity, if the presenter is serious about being a narrator, they would do well to consider voice lessons. .
My God! Maybe not show your hatred of Richard III so much. The urn is not those princes and " ill gotten crown?? " omg im done. Get your facts straight
He presented a fake document and paid a priest to defame his dead brother in order to steal the throne. There was no evidence that Edward and Richard were illegitimate that didn’t come from someone that Richard had paid to say it. The woman that their father was supposedly married to was already married and dead by the time the boys were born, so how can they be illegitimate based on their father’s engagement to a dead woman? How can your father be married to a woman who died two years before you were born? MAYBE you could argue that Elizabeth of York was illegitimate because she was the only one of their children born during Elenor’s life, but Richard clearly intended to use her as a political pawn like she was legitimate.
Wow you really are copying from History Calling.
what about that lady on top of Anne when she was dug up? I’ve tried looking it up and can’t find anything abt her🥲 have a good week all!!
