The White Tower began construction around 1078 and was being built in a country that had only just been invaded in 1066. The tower was built to dominate London and the surrounding countryside to prevent any uprisisings by the people, to serve as a garrison for William's troops and to also serve as a home for the Kings once it was finished. The Tower of London was used as the principal home for all the English kings from William II to Henry VII.
