Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Montfichet's Tower (also known as Montfichet's Castle and/or spelt Mountfitchet's or Mountfiquit's) was a Norman fortress on Ludgate Hill in London, between where St Paul's Cathedral and City Thameslink railway station now stand. First documented in the 1130s, it was probably built in the late 11th century. The defences were strengthened during the revolt of 1173–1174 against Henry II.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Das Montfitchet Castle war eine Festung in London. König Wilhelm I. ließ sie nach der normannischen Invasion im Jahr 1066 errichten, um die Stadt vor Angriffen der Wikinger zu schützen und mögliche Aufstände der Stadtbewohner zu verhindern.
