COMING BANK FROM LONDON

Yes, coming back from London to Madrid where there is home, what may I think or say about London and the English culture, seeing only a City like London?.

Very few in fact, London is not England, it could be like a piece of the English culture when I have seen the old houses, the tradition, the Palace, and some of the Little cities that sorrounded the big Metrópoli.

After eight days in the city only I could say I have been fascinated by the air, the people, and by London itself.

To me one of the best and nicer cities I have been. Yes, I liked London absolutely.

Their wide streets, the Thame River, of Course The Parlament, The Big Beng and the Tower of Londong one of the most interesting castles of strengths that I have seen in the middle of a city.
So much history within its walls.

English history but also history of some other European kingdoms from the Middle Ages.
Yes, I was impressed by the Tower of London knowing something about the evens that keeps its walls, rooms, towers and dungeons.

Ilustred people who were imprisoned within its walls and even beheaded inside the enclosure.
Knowing the life of these persons and what represented in history of the world at that time.

Again I have to say that was fascinating to walk within the walls of the Tower

Lot of people were killed inside the Tower, som of them were 

• William Hastings, barón de Hasting (1483)
•  
• Tomás Moro, (1535) 
•  
• Ana Bolena, reina consorte (1536)

• Margaret Pole, condesa de Salisbury (1541)
•  
• Jane Boleyn, vizcondesa de Rochford (1542)
•  
• Catalina Howard, reina consorte (1542)
•  
• Jane Grey, reina (1554)
•  
• Robert Devereux, conde de Essex (1601)

But even dozens of illustred people were in jail along years and years inside the Tower.

The Ravens of the Tower of London

The Ravens are one of the most famous elements of this monument, widely photographed and persecuted by the children. Many visitors are trying to lure them with food. And the guards of the Tower of London safe caring well for them...there are six who are the official number, and some other more to be alive to replace the dead one of the six.

And it is to that account the legend that at time of Carlos II the wise assured the King that if one day the Ravens leaving the Tower of London realm and the fortress would be come down.

One of the guards that protect the Tower, the Maestro de los Cuervos ("Ravenmaster"), cares for the Ravens and made an incision in one of the wings of the Ravens to avoid to go flying from the enclosure. There are large cages that secure the crows and many sitting in different parts of the enclosure.

The legend has something to do with the great fire that destroyed London on 1666 but the Tower

was safe may be because The Ravens were inside it.

Well another episode about London or England history for another day.
