The Tower of London, not a single tower but a large group, was built to guard London. Besides William and Henry VIII, the tower’s history has other famous names in British history. In 1389 a clerk of works named Geoffrey Chaucer — author of The Canterbury Tales — oversaw (监督) the building of the Tower Wharf. In 1671 Colonel Blood tried to steal the crown jewels (皇冠上镶的宝石) after overpowering the elderly Jewel House keeper. (Blood was caught but later pardoned.) Today the jewels remain in the tower as they have since Blood’s day.
