Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Tower Green is a space within the Tower of London, a royal castle in London, where two English Queens consort and several other British nobles were executed by beheading. It was considered more dignified for nobility to be executed away from spectators, and Queens Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, and Lady Jane Grey were among the nobility beheaded here. Queen Victoria asked for information on the exact location where the executions took place and had some granite paving laid to mark the spot. However, it is unclear whether the location is indeed correct because other sources place it on the current parade ground between the White Tower and the entrance to the current Waterloo Barracks.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Tower Green est une étendue de pelouse située à l'intérieur de la Tour de Londres, entre les appartements de la Reine et la chapelle royale, où plusieurs nobles britanniques ont été exécutés à l’abri des regards. Dix personnes y ont été décapitées, dont les Reines consort Anne Boleyn, seconde épouse d’Henry VIII et Catherine Howard, sa cinquième épouse, ainsi que Jeanne Grey, la Reine de neuf jours qui avait à peine 16 ans lors de son exécution, Jane Boleyn, vicomtesse Rochford et belle-sœur d'Anne Boleyn ou encore Margaret Pole comtesse de Salisbury et dernière des Plantagenêt.
