Polar bears were kept in the Tower of London as part of the Royal Menagerie, a collection of exotic animals owned by the monarchy. The bears were gifted to King Henry III in the 13th century by the King of Norway. They were housed in the Tower until the menagerie was closed in the 19th century. This practice was part of the royal fascination with showcasing power and wealth through the possession of rare animals.
