About: Tower Green

An Entity of Type: WikicatExecutionSites, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

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.

dbo:abstract
  • La Torre Verde (Tower Green) es un espacio en la Torre de Londres donde dos reinas consortes y otros miembros de la nobleza inglesa fueron ejecutados mediante decapitación. Se consideraba más digno para la nobleza ser ejecutado lejos de la vista de los espectadores, siendo las reinas Ana Bolena, Catalina Howard y Juana Grey tres de las personas decapitadas en la Torre Verde. La reina Victoria del Reino Unido solicitó información acerca del sitio donde las ejecuciones tenían lugar así como la instalación de un pavimento de granito para marcar el punto exacto. No obstante, se desconoce si el lugar actualmente indicado es el correcto debido a que varias fuentes ubican la zona de las ejecuciones entre la Torre Blanca y la entrada a Waterloo Barracks. (es)
  • Tower Green, ehemals East Smithfield Green ist ein Platz im inneren Ring der Festungsanlage des Tower of London. Der Platz liegt auf der Westseite des Tower zwischen Queen’s House, Beauchamp Tower und St. Peter ad Vincula. Er entstand durch den Bau der inneren Maueranlagen unter König Heinrich III. im 13. Jahrhundert. Die längste Zeit seiner Existenz diente das Tower Green als Garten und Freifläche für Bewohner und Besucher des Towers. Zwischen 1483 und 1743 wurde es auch als Hinrichtungsstätte genutzt. Gefangene des Towers wurden normalerweise außerhalb des Towers auf Tower Hill enthauptet, einige vor allem hochrangige Persönlichkeiten wurden aber auf dem Tower Green hingerichtet. Seit 1890 ist der Platz mit Rasen bewachsen, ein Pflasterstreifen trennt den Rasen in Ost-West-Richtung. Neben dem Streifen steht ein Denkmal für sieben dort Hingerichtete. Der Platz ist um etwa einen Meter nach Süden geneigt. (de)

  • Tower Green é um espaço dentro da Torre de Londres, um castelo real em Londres, onde dois consortes reais ingleses e vários nobres ingleses foram executados por decapitação. Era considerado mais dignificante que a nobreza fosse executada longe dos espectadores, e as rainhas Ana Bolena, Catarina Howard e Joana Grey estiveram entre a nobreza decapitada neste local. A Rainha Vitória pediu informações sobre o local exacto onde as execuções tiveram lugar e mandou pôr um pavimento de granito para marcar o sítio. No entanto, não é ainda claro se a localização está correta porque outras fontes afirmam ser noutro local da Torre de Londres. (pt)
