History of the Tower of London - Medieval Wonders Bedtime ASMR

The Tower of London is a castle established in the Eleventh Century, shortly after the Norman invasion of England. It served as a royal residence, a fortress, a prison, a safe place for the Crown Jewels, a menagerie, and is now a World Heritage Site as well as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK. Join me on this journey to the past that will take us from medieval London to our time.

This is also the second episode of a series about wonders of the medieval world. It will be followed by various more, including Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice or Notre-Dame de Paris. You can already watch the first episode, about the Mont Saint-Michel: https://youtu.be/lwNxiGt8VXA
