Author, Elizabeth St.John
The Tower of London is infamous for the famous prisoners it housed, the horrific torture that took place within its walls, and the tragic executions witnessed on Tower Green. But along with the kept must be the keepers, and Elizabeth St. John’s best-selling novel, The Lady of the Tower, is the story of her ancestress, Lucy St.John, the wife of the Lieutenant of the Tower. Drawing on contemporary notebooks, documents and behind-the-scenes research at the Tower, a hidden world is revealed of corrupt officials, extravagant kings and queens, and immoral aristocrats.
