Tower of London (Q62378)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded toward the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new Norman ruling class. The castle was also used as a prison from 1100 (Ranulf Flambard) until 1952 (Kray twins), although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under kings Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

La tour de Londres, en anglais Tower of London est une forteresse historique située sur la rive nord de la Tamise à Londres en Angleterre à côté du Tower Bridge. La tour se trouve dans le borough londonien de Tower Hamlets situé à l'est de la Cité de Londres dans un espace appelé Tower Hill. Sa construction commença vers la fin de l'année 1066 dans le cadre de la conquête normande de l’Angleterre. La tour Blanche (White Tower) qui donna son nom à l'ensemble du château, fut construite sur l'ordre de Guillaume le Conquérant en 1078 et fut considérée comme un symbole de l'oppression infligée à Londres par la classe dirigeante. Le château fut utilisé comme prison dès 1100. Il servait également de grand palais et de résidence royale. Dans son ensemble, la tour est un complexe composé de plusieurs bâtiments entourés de deux murailles défensives concentriques et d'une douve. Il y eut plusieurs phases d'expansion, principalement lors des règnes de Richard Ier, d'Henri III et d'Édouard Ier aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles. Le plan général établi à la fin du XIIIe siècle n'évolua pas malgré les activités ultérieures dans ces murs.
