- Throughout the centuries, the Tower of London has become known for being a site of torture and execution. It was where two of Henry VIII's wives lost their heads during the Tudor period, and where Guy Fawkes was racked. But one forgotten tale of the Tower of London is what happened to John Bawd, a guard who worked there. He fell in love with a prisoner known as Alice Tankerville, who would be accused of stealing money from Henry VIII. But Bawd and Tankerville fell in love.
They tried an audacious escape attempt, and they did succeed but when captured shortly after John Bawd the guard who was meant to keep prisoners locked up was tortured horrifically. He was racked and forced into Little Ease, the Tower's oubliette style dungeon. But he was then executed as he was hanged in chains from the Tower's walls.

The English have come up with some wonderfully silly official titles throughout their history but I think "Beefeater" wins the prize for the silliest 😂
Beefeater is not an official title, it is a nickname, the official title is 'The Yeomen Warders of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary'.
@@mikestrohm3271 Wow. That's even more ridiculous than beefeater. Amazing! 🤣🤣🤣
The belief about beefeaters and their nickname ‘The Beefeaters’ is because they were allegedly paid in beef during the reign of Henry VIII. This was explained to us during a tour of the Tower.
No sillier than many other nations 🤔😬
One theory is that they served at the king's buffet and were called by the French title buffetiers which to the English
commoners sounded like beefeaters.
old henry could be a right c**t at times
It's interesting how Aztecs were depicted as "savages" ...meanwhile in merry old England...
All nations have had their savage moments over time in history
The merry old English didn't cut out the hearts of still-living human sacrifices with obsidian knives. The Aztecs did.
John Bawd isn't the first nor the last man whose little friend got him into serious trouble.
I need someone to explain why John Wolff was allowed to leave prison, and then why he voluntarily returned to England knowing there must have been some chance of him being executed lol
I was thinking the same thing ?
You hear about the brutality of Henry, the eighth I wonder what his opinions and actions would be in modern day Britain with feminists, woke culture and unpatriotic individuals?😳😨😱
@WILLIAM1690WALES - Prince Todger, aka Prince Harry wants to be eternally grateful that Henry VIII isn't king now.
Got rid of the disgraceful catholicism as well.

The Beefeater was a bit of a sausage....
a silly sausage
He didn't know what was at steak.
He was a bit of a meat-head alright
@@SakuraAsranArt He wanted to join the burgers.
@@crazyviking24 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, I never knew of his execution.
Me neither .
@@davidtomlinson6138 I remember hearing the story years ago, but not what happened to the guard or couple.
well told old story ,
Bro awesome videos but you gotta fix your audio. You can hear the echo so loud it ruins it. Look up guides on how to do it yourself
Thanks mate, currently rebuilding my studio set up, hence the echo. Things will be better from next week on.
I took history gcse to learn this stuff, we learnt the enclosure system and the clearances it was beyond boring. I stopped going, one of my biggest regrets actually going to high school. I a autodidact. Everything I know i taught myself, probably because of my personality disorders tbh, you couldn't tell me anything, as a kid. Adhd and autism was a miserable time as z kid, still I'm as sharp as a die. Grammar aside, brain damage did that. Digression.
Sometimes we learn more after we leave school (16 in the UK) than we did when attending lessons as teachers can unfortunately make subjects dry and uninteresting
Address then correctly, Yeoman Warders.
The voiceover is a little hard to follow…..
😮
This's where the new 2 Prince's belong. Prince Andrew and Prince Harry.

@@d.srfc5547: He is not my King. I'm from the States!
I don't give a shit what he's done militarily or otherwise!
You can go to the tower with him!
@@johnmuldoon9228 yes he is.. I can claim to be an astronaut all I want but the fact is im not.dont get upset look across the world count yourself
The tower has never been a prison, it was a castle
Try telling that to the prisoners who were held in the Tower! Granted, it was a royal palace, not a regular, common prison, but it was used to detain prisoners of the Crown.
The castle was built around the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. William the Conqueror built The White Tower in 1078. It began being used as a prison from 1100 until 1952 although that was not its primary purpose.
Wow! you are dead wrong about that!
@@perniciouspete4986 It was built as a Castle, NOT as a prison, Don't argue with me ask any Beefeater who do the tours,🖕
He was a thief, what’s the problem?
