The Tower of London has a long and notorious history of murderous political intrigue, dungeons, and famous beheadings. And for more than 300 years, the tower has also been home to a set of royally maintained ravens. Since the time of Charles II, at least six ravens  have — by royal decree — made their home in the tower. They are given ample food, comfy quarters, and private burials in the moat near Traitor’s Gate. Learn more at Historic-UK.
