27th April 1478

Queen Margaret of Anjou

          As you know our Dearest Reader The Tower of London is a very known place in England know as a Royal Residence for many ex kings and queens of our country but also is a terrible and horrible place for some of them which became their “cemetery”. 

Tower of London

          Many people were killed there just like King Henry VI who was a peaceful and pious man, not suited for the dynastic wars, such as the War of the Roses, which started during his reign. His periods of insanity and his inherent benevolence eventually required his wife, Margaret of Anjou to assume control of his kingdom, which contributed to his own downfall, the collapse of the House of Lancaster, and the rise of the House of York.

King Henry VI

          Henry was imprisoned in the Tower of London in whose Wakefield Tower he died during the night of 21 or 22 May 1471. In all likelihood, Henry's opponents had kept him alive up to this point rather than leave the Lancasters with a far more formidable leader in Henry's son Edward. According to the History of the arrival of Edward IV, an official chronicle favorable to Edward, Henry died of melancholy on hearing news of the Battle of Tewkesbury and his son's death. It is widely suspected, however, that Edward IV, who was re-crowned the morning following Henry's death, had in fact ordered his murder.

George Duke of Clarence

          Some loyalt subjects of the House of Lancaster explicitly states that Richard, Duke of Gloucester, killed Henry, but no contemporary sources make this claim. Another contemporary source, Wakefield's Chronicle, gives the date of Henry's death as 23 May, on which date Richard is known to have been away from London.

          Moreover, he's accused of murdering his own brother George, Duke of Clarence, but this is his avidity and thirst of power which killed him...

Well my dear reader what do you think about this horrible place?

Well I think that all this murders have a bad influence on this place and it’s a damned place which kills everybody who is going to the throne. I think that one of those kings should have the idea to destroy this “house of ghosts” and so the thinks may be would be different nowdays. It would absolutely change our history impact.
