520    Famed as the ultimate penalty for traitors, heretics and 
       royalty alike, being sent to the Tower is known to have 
       been experienced by no less than 8,000 unfortunate souls. 
       Many of those who were imprisoned in the Tower never 
       returned to civilization and those who did, often did so 
       without their head! It is hardly surprising that the Tower
       has earned itself a reputation among the most infamous 
       buildings on the planet. Beginning with the early tales 
       surrounding its creation, this book investigates the 
       private life of an English icon. Concentrating on the 
       Tower's developing role throughout the centuries, not in 
       terms of its physical expansion into a site of unique 
       architectural majesty or many purposes but through the 
       eyes of those who experienced its darker side, it pieces 
       together the, often seldom-told, human story and how the 
       fates of many of those who stayed within its walls 
       contributed to its lasting effect on England's-and later 
       the UK's-destiny. From ruthless traitors to unjustly 
       killed Jesuits, vanished treasures to disappeared princes,
       and jaded wives to star-crossed lovers, this book provides
       a raw and at times unsettling insight into its unsolved 
       mysteries and the lot of its unfortunate victims, thus 
       explaining how this once typical castle came to be the 
       place we will always remember as THE TOWER.
