Ebook About “With these incredible and often heartbreaking stories, John Paul Davis clearly demonstrates how the fortress acquired its sinister reputation.” —History . . . the Interesting Bits!Famed as the ultimate penalty for traitors, heretics and royalty alike, being sent to the Tower is known to have been experienced by no less than 8,000 unfortunate souls. Many of those who were imprisoned in the Tower never returned to civilization and those who did, often did so without their head! It is hardly surprising that the Tower has earned itself a reputation among the most infamous buildings on the planet.Beginning with the early tales surrounding its creation, this book investigates the private life of an English icon. Concentrating on the Tower’s developing role throughout the centuries, not in terms of its physical expansion into a site of unique architectural majesty or many purposes but through the eyes of those who experienced its darker side, it pieces together the, often seldom-told, human story and how the fates of many of those who stayed within its walls contributed to its lasting effect on England’s—and later the UK’s—destiny. From ruthless traitors to unjustly killed Jesuits, vanished treasures to disappeared princes and jaded wives to star-crossed lovers, this book provides a raw and at times unsettling insight into its unsolved mysteries and the lot of its unfortunate victims, thus explaining how this once typical castle came to be the place we will always remember as THE TOWER.“The building is as imposing now as it ever was, and the author’s complete and thorough knowledge is imparted in grand style.” —Books MonthlyBook A Hidden History of the Tower of London: England's Most Notorious Prisoners Review :
Fabulous! This wonderful book, A Hidden History of the Tower of London, England's Most Notorious Prisoners written by John Paul Davis, is GOLD! He covers the Towers beginning with William the Conqueror in 1066 and continues throughout 1000 years to the present time. Now that includes all the characters we are all familiar with...Henry II, John the Gaunt, Mathilde, Edward and his love Elizabeth Woodville (another author of British history calls her The White Queen, Margaret Beaufort, Henrys V, VI, VII, and of course the greatest beastie of them all, Henry VIII of Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. They're all in this wonderfully written book. How was Mr. Davis able to write just a few pages per character when there are books and books written about each one of these historical figures. And then there is the star of the book, The Tower of London! I cannot even imagine what it must be like to be inside it, as I have never been, standing in the rooms that held Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard! This is a fabulous book! I give it 25 stars!!! It was fascinating, interesting and answered questions that I have of the place. Alas, we'll probably never really know what happened to the Princes in the Tower, or I should say, who murdered them? and who is the ghost that haunts the Tower!! A great great read! 3 starsThis is a (very) comprehensive history of the life and times of those who at one time or another inhabited the Tower of London from its inception by William the Conqueror. It was remodeled several times throughout the years, so much so that William wouldn't have recognized it.The names and the pages fly by in this chronicle. In fact the names blur, there are so many. The poor, hapless souls (for the most part), who were sentenced to terms in the Tower or death by various means were innocent victims of politics, intrigue or happenstance.The language in the book was difficult to follow in some areas. I had to read the sentence twice, or even three times to get the sense of it. Also, if I had not known the story behind many of the incarcerations, especially those of the Tudor period, I would hardly have understood much of the book. My hat is off to Mr. Davis for having the courage and stick-to-it-evness to tackle this huge subject. There is also a copious bibliography included at the end of the book for those who want to further explore the topic and its related issues.I want to thank NetGalley and Pen & Sword/Pen & Sword History for forwarding to me a copy of this very interesting and enlightening book for me to read, enjoy and review.
