Nobody. The Tower of London didn't exist in 1066. Construction began in 1078.
William the Conqueror
Yes the tower bridge of 1666 did burn. ... but what we now know as Tower Bridge had not yet been built
It was a victory for the Normans who defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and then the Duke of Normandy declared himself as King William of England
Prince Edgar the Ætheling's claim was that he was the closest blood relative to King Edward. In fact, apart from Edgar there were no other male members of the House of Wessex (the royal family) alive in 1066. Edgar was the great-nephew of Edward the Confessor. Harold II may have been descended in the male line from Æthelræd I, King of Wessex (865-871AD) but this has never been proved.

Medieval PeopleMedieval Feudal SystemLife in the Medieval Castle was governed by the pyramid-shaped Feudal System.KingsKings were the ultimate rulers of a country.RulersThe lord of a fief was the supreme ruler over his territory. From the feudal agreement he gained these rights.VassalsVassals were appointed by a lord to protect him in exchange of land.Medieval WomenThe attitude toward women in medieval times, particularly held by the Church, was that they were inferior to men. In reality, medieval women had a lot of responsibility and were not at all inferior to men in terms of daily effort.How Women were TreatedIt is a common belief that women during the Dark Ages were badly punished and forced to work. While this was true in many instances, it was not always the case.SerfsSerfs were a step higher than slaves. Even though they were very maltreated, they still possessed some rights and privileges.SpiesSpies were very common during the Middle Ages. They were used for many purposes and sometimes they had to climb trees or use stealth in order to acknowledge sensitive information.FiefFief is the land appointed by the king or a noble to his vassal in exchange of goods or protection.Farmer's LifeMost of the peasants in the middle ages were serf farmers. They were not considered free and were bound to their plot of land.PeasantsThe lifestyle of peasants in Medieval England was extremely hard and harsh. Many worked as farmers in fields owned by the lords and their lives were controlled by the farming year. Certain jobs had to be done at certain times of the year.The Poor PeasantVery few people cared about the poor in Medieval England and the lifestyle of peasants was harsh with no structured support services available to them if things went wrong.hope it helped Lady.D
There were two kinds of people on the land. First, there were the serfs or slaves. Next, there was the peasant. The only difference between the two is that slaves were owned by the estate and the peasant wasn't. The peasant earned his small hut to live in by working the estates land and taking care of the crops and animals. He was able to have a small patch of ground for himself and family, but 90% of his labor went to the lord of the manor. When he died he paid a tax for dying. Both the peasant and the serf were expected to fight in the wars that happened in conjunction with the estate where they lived. As far as an exact word for the time as to what these people were called I would say "peasant" is close. When William conquered England he spoke French so as a result the nobility spoke French and the common people spoke English. So, the French speaking nobility may have called them one thing and the English speaking peasant may have thought of him/herself as another.
