Make thee mightier yet!

The Tower of London The Beefeater, the Yeomen of the Guard or the Tower Warder – these are the names of the guards of the Tower. Beefeater means a man who eats meat. In the old days Beefeaters tasted the royal food. There are thirty-seven guards now. They are dressed in red and black Tudor clothes. Guards, together with their families, live in a fortress. Now Beefeaters are guides in the Tower. During their excursions, they add their horror stories about the castle with the stories about ghosts of its prisoners. In our days, for the first time in the history of the Tower, women can become the guards of the castle. They have the same requirements as men - to serve in the army for 22 years and have the rank of sergeant.

Ravens The alchemist in the court of Charles II proposed to have the black crows to scare away the scourge from the fortress and the whole kingdom. Magician warned: the Tower will fall, the royal family will be disrupted, and England as a country will be waited for implode and enslavement, if the crows suddenly fly away. Since then, taking care of them has become one of the main duties of the servants of the castle. Ravens are fed with raw meat and, to avoid flying, their wings are undercut. Royal ravens can be recognized by the ribbon. Winged guardians live for a long time - not less than forty years, and when they die, they are buried in the crow’s cemetery. The castle has long been guarded by the black crows. Bird - guards have a very interesting history.

National symbol Almost unknown in England before the XIV century, a rose appeared at the courts of the kings of England shortly before the bloody feud between York and Lancaster homes. The flower so captivated by its beauty the pretenders to the throne, that both of them put it in their emblems: one of them elected a white rose, and another– a scarlet one. That’s why, the fierce internecine struggle of Henry VI of Lancaster to Edward of York for the English throne, which lasted more than 30 years, is known as the Wars of the Roses. In memory of those events the British gardeners brought a special sort of rose, known as Lancaster-York: on the same bush there are both white and red flowers.
