Londoners agreed to acknowledge William as King provided he left them
alone. He had
no choice. Storming London would be like killing the goose that laid
the golden eggs.
But William made sure of the acquiescence of London’s rich merchants
by building
fortresses at each end of London’s commercial jugular, the Thames
At the eastern end, The Tower of London. At
the western end, Windsor Castle. We can visit
both, and catch up 1000 years of British royal history – and see
some of the world’s most
famous weapons and armour and one of the world’s most awesome art collections
and
assemblages of baubles (the Crown Jewels – each gem has a history)
