It was founded in late 1066 as part of the Norman conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives its name to the entire castle, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, becoming a symbol of oppression in London by the new ruling elite. Since at least 1100, the castle was used as a prison, but was not the primary purpose.
