| Summary | "The Tower of London, (Vol. 2 of 2)" by Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rich and often tumultuous history of the Tower of London, exploring notable prisoners, royal events, and key historical figures associated with this iconic fortress. This volume covers significant periods during the reigns of the Stuart kings, including the intrigues and conflicts of the political landscape of the time. The opening of the volume introduces the early years of King James I and his interactions with the Tower, highlighting the political machinations involving figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Lady Arabella Stuart. It recounts a series of conspiracies and imprisonments that took place within the Tower's walls, detailing the fraught relationship between James and various nobles, particularly regarding Arabella's claim to the throne. As the text unfolds, it paints a vivid picture of the societal tensions and personal tragedies that unfolded within this historic site, setting the stage for deeper explorations into the right relations and conflicts that would continue through successive reigns, leading into the turbulent times of Charles I and beyond.
