William the conqueror came to London in 1066 and laid down his sword in peace which was a relief to the Londoners, because they thought he was just going to come and slaughter them all. But No he came and offered peace, and freedom to the Londoners only for one small condition. That he was the ruler.
He then made the Tower of London, the reason he did this was the people started to forget who was in power, so he showed what they were messing with. The tower was then used as an army base, then used as a prison. Now it is used as a keeper of the royal jewels.
Tower Brigde was made by Queen Victoria so she would have a mark on the city.
