Episode 161 The Unique History and Odd Hauntings of the Tower of London

So, the Tower of London? A nearly 1000 year old landmark and now, a part of the monarchy's real estate holdings but what do you know about it? Today, we talk about the castle's origins, it's creation as a symbol of Norman might by William the Conqueror since then it has gone on to become a Royal Mint, a garrison, a palace, an armory, a raven's nest, a prison and a site of many murders and bloody executions. Join us as we learn about the tower and Krysta adds Henry VIII to her collection of people she despises. Find out who Margaret Pole was and why we love her so much.
