2. Ravens of the Tower of London

The first Royal Observatory was located in
the north eastern turret(tower) of the White
Tower. Legend has it that John Flamsteed, the
‘astronomical observatory’ complained to King
Charles II that the birds we're disturbing him.
The King therefore ordered their destruction
only to be told that if the ravens left the Tower,
the White Tower would fall and a great disaster
happens to the Kingdom. Later, the King
changed his mind and said that at least six
ravens should be kept at the Tower at all times
to prevent disaster.
