A number of famous Tudor prisoners were confined to the various thirteen towers on the inner wall, including Thomas More, Sir Walter Raleigh, and even the young Elizabeth I. Henry VI died in the Wakefield Tower in 1471, supposedly murdered on the orders of the Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III. The most notorious murders, however, were those of the young King Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, who were reputedly killed in the Garder Tower (now known as the Bloody Tower), again on the orders of the Duke of Gloucester, in 1483.
