Who is Buried at the Tower of London? Princes in the Tower & Victims of Henry VIII

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) Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare (1534) 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) Queen Catherine Howard (1542) Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford (1542) Thank you to the Yeoman Warders and Historic Royal Palaces for giving us permission to film and so much excellent information.
