Excerpt from Authorised Guide to the Tower of London House, which cost ???22 and 20d., was built for it, the first elephant, it was said, ever seen north of the Alps. We hear of lions in the reigns of the three Edwards, and a little later the office of Keeper was held by men of superior rank, and sometimes b the Lieutenant. Edward III had a lion and ???onces; Henry VI kept lions and leopards Henry VIII had four large lions and two leopards James I baited the lions in 1604 and 1609 under Cromwell there were six lions here, and in the reign of Queen Anne, eleven, besides other animals. In 1754 they were reduced to two, but in 1796 there were four lionesses and one lion, and it is recorded that they constantly bred in the Tower. Nevertheless, by 1822, the breed was extinct. Many superstitions were connected with the Tower lions, and their death was looked upon as ominous. An old lion died just before Queen Elizabeth, and another, as was much noted at the time, two days before Charles II.
