From an early stage of its history, one of the functions of the Tower of London has been to act as a prison, though it was not designed as one. The earliest known prisoner was Ranulf Flambard in 1100 who, as Bishop of Durham, was found guilty of extortion. He had been responsible for various improvements to the design of the tower after the first architect Gundulf moved back to Rochester. He escaped from the White Tower by climbing down a rope which had been smuggled into his cell in a wine casket. Other prisoners include:

  • Der Tower of London diente von 1101 bis 1941 als Gefängnis der englischen und britischen Könige. Meist ließen sie in dieser Festung in London höhergestellte oder wichtige Gefangene inhaftieren. Viele Gefangene waren Gefangene des Staates oder des Königs. Andererseits kamen auch vollkommen unbekannte Häftlinge in den Tower. In den 800 Jahren seiner Geschichte wurde kein anderes englisches Gefängnis zu so verschiedenen Zwecken benutzt wie der Tower of London. (de)
