Thanks so much for putting this up, it’s fun to see myself doing these tours, I do miss the place and the job. I actually remember this particular tour and the “special person” 😂🤣 it was always a joy to get a few in the crowd that would engage and get the idea of the tour.
I have been watching you on RU-vid all week Bill! Your such a funny guy and great respect to you! (Thank you for your service too!!!). I was planning to meet you after Pandemic at Tower of London, but understand you have retired now (still going none the less!). Stay safe, enjoy well deserved retirement and thank you again also for what I have learnt of the Tower of London so far!
Bill should could up with a smooth, and clever, link between, where he tells the crowd that the Tower was buildt as a palace and fortress, and talking about the first prisoner: the French bishop.
musik102: Ranulf Flambard, Bishop of Durham, was Norman rather than French. Other than the Channel Islands, the Duchy of Normandy was not annexed to the Kingdom of France until the year 1204, a fact confirmed by the 1259 Treaty of Paris.
