#Onthisday in 1367 Richard II was born 👑 In 1381 Richard fled to the Tower of London when 10,000 rebels marched on London during the Peasant's Revolt 🏰 Just 18 years later, Richard returned to the fortress as its prisoner, when he lost his crown to the future Henry IV ⛓️

#Onthisday in 1471 King Henry VI died at the Tower of London 🏰 His reign was dominated by the Wars of the Roses 🌹 Henry was imprisoned by Edward IV, in the Tower of London. He was supposedly murdered while at prayer in the Wakefield Tower, a claim still unproven to this day⛓️
