A Princess of the Tower of London?
When I heard that an English Princess was born in the Tower
of London and spent 11 years of her life there, I was curious. The Princess’
name is Joan of England. She is more commonly called Joan of the Tower. She
lived from 1321 to 1362. She was born in the Tower of London. She was married
to the King of Scotland. Don’t too long after their marriage war broke out
between England and Scotland. The King of Scotland was captured and spent 11
years as a guest of the Tower of London. During his imprisonment Joan visited
often. After his release from the Tower, Joan stayed in England. That is all
that is written about her in history. She was soon forgot and lost in the
chronicles of English history. I found one of the only images of Joan of the
Tower.
