			====Leonardo da Vinci's research on the havens====
			Just before his death in 1519, [[Leonardo da Vinci]], afraid of possible interception, hid encoded information with trusted friends scattered around [[Europe]] under express instructions to destroy it should the [[Assassins]] not be able to contact them within a month of his death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Letter from Leonardo</ref> After a round of clues was uncovered by the Brotherhood chapters in the cities of [[Grenoble]], [[Brussels]] and [[Augsburg]], they then contacted the local Brotherhood chapter at London, passing along a letter from Leonardo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 25</ref> Leonardo's letter about London requested that the Brotherhood locate [[Thomas More]] within the Tower of London and free him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Mini-map: London</ref> Having received the quest, the local chapter sent agents to five landmarks to investigate.

			One Assassin infiltrated [[Ebury Manor]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 04</ref> whose inhabitants had strong ties with the organization of detentions and guards at the Tower of London, and located a number of papers of interest,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 064</ref> including a fragment of the complex's floor plans.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 175</ref> A secret document, that was difficult to decipher, detailed that More was being kept in a building between Legge's Mount and Develin Tower.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 096</ref> Westminster Palace,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 20</ref> would also yield a section of the tower's plans,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 187</ref> acquired by following an intendant responsible for urban matters to the building register office.<!--This predates the HM Land Registry by like 3 centuries--><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 150</ref> A compartment just under the spire<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 157</ref> of Old St. Paul's<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 25</ref> held an {{Wiki\|Toposcope\|orientation table}} with a section detailing some of the characteristics of the Tower of London,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 025</ref> and was also collected.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 190</ref>

			With the collected information, the Assassins went to the Tower of London.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 34</ref> From a vantage point at the tallest point in the prison complex, they prepared a precise map of the area<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 020</ref> to fine-tune their plans.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 146</ref> Locating More within the Salt Tower,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 022</ref> the Assassins released him.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 08</ref>

			====Reign of Henry VIII and successors====
	The reign of [[Henry VIII of England\|Henry VIII]] greatly modified the power of the King of England. In 1530, he moved the royal residence from Westminster Palace to Whitehall. Westminster became the permanent location for the country's two houses of parliament, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Courts of Law were also established in Westminster.<ref name="Parliament" /> In 1532, Henry acquired the land of the former St. James's Hospital to use it as a hunting ground, making the oldest of London's Royal Parks.<ref name="St. James" /> In 1534, when Henry severed ties with the Catholic Church and St. Paul's became a Protestant cathedral<ref name="St Paul" /> and in 1536, Henry seized Covent Garden which was tilted to Benedictine monks and the land was given to the Earl of Bedford.<ref name="Covent">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: Covent Garden]]</ref> In 1542, Henry ordered the construction of St. Martin-in-the-Fields as he wanted to redirect the funeral processions of plague victims away from his home at Whitehall.<ref name="St. Martin-in-the-Fields">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: St. Martin-in-the-Fields]]</ref>		The reign of [[Henry VIII of England\|Henry VIII]] greatly modified the power of the King of England.

	From 869, Lunden was governed by [[Tryggr]], an ally of [[Ubba Ragnarsson]], who ruled the city with [[Erke Bodilsson]] and [[Stowe]] as reeves. During this time however, the city was infiltrated by a [[Wardens of War\|sect]] of the [[Order of the Ancients]] who sought to take the city for themselves. Led by the [[Franks\|Frankish]] sailor [[Vicelin]], the Order used the [[Temple of Mithras, London\|Temple of Mithras]] as a hideout while two of its members, [[Avgos Spearhand]] and [[Frideswid]], infiltrated the ranks of the military and monastery, respectively.<ref name="Walls and Shadows" /> Avgos became a marksman captain under Tryggr,<ref name="Firing the Arrow">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Firing the Arrow]]</ref> while Frideswid conducted experimentations on human bodies before dumping them into the harbor to spread fear throughout Lunden.<ref name="Bleeding the Leech">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Bleeding The Leech]]</ref>		From 869, Lunden was governed by [[Tryggr]], an ally of [[Ubba Ragnarsson]], who ruled the city with [[Erke Bodilsson]] and [[Stowe]] as reeves.

	After the [[Battle of Meretun]], the Great Heathen Army, led by [[Guthrum]] and [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]], stayed in Lunden under Tryggr's hospitality. Within the army, the Viking company known as the [[Hel-hides]] made a temporary life within Lunden, until a blood-feud emerged. The Hel-hides' leader [[Geirmund Hel-hide]] was attacked by Halfdan's warrior, [[Krok Uxiblóð]], for his role in the death of Ubba's kinsman [[Fasti]]. As a result, Tryggr and Halfdan wished to judge Geirmund immediately as his fellow warrior [[Aslef]] was fatally injured. With Guthrum's counsel, Geirmund and five fellow Hel-hides left the town in order to save his other warriors from persecution.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' — Chapter 18</ref>		After the [[Battle of Meretun]], the Great Heathen Army, led by [[Guthrum]] and [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]], stayed in Lunden under Tryggr's hospitality.

	In 873, the Viking [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], at the request of the Hidden One [[Hytham]], travelled to Lunden to seek allies against the Order of the Ancients in the city. After Tryggr was killed by the Ancients, Eivor met Stowe and Erke and helped them rid the city of the Order's influence, killing both Avgos<ref name="Firing the Arrow" /> and Frideswid.<ref name="Bleeding the Leech" /> Their deaths led Vicelin to invade Lunden in a last attempt at success, but he was struck down by Eivor.<ref name="Smashing the Compass">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Smashing the Compass]]</ref> During her time in the city, Eivor also discovered the abandoned Londinium bureau, from which she recovered a page of [[the Magas Codex]] and the [[Hidden Ones' Mask]].<ref name="Brief History" />		In 873, the Viking [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], at the request of the Hidden One [[Hytham]], travelled to Lunden to seek allies against the Order of the Ancients in the city.

	In 878, the Hidden Ones set up a new Lunden bureau within a tavern, the [[Hawk's Nest]], with [[Marcella]] of [[Rome]] installed as the bureau leader. Once they sent out invitations, Hytham welcomed their only respondent, [[Niamh of Argyll]],<ref name="SChapter 03">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse]]'' — Chapter 3</ref> who had travelled to Lunden to investigate the Hidden Ones at the request of [[The Lady]] of [[Avalon]], the leader of the [[Women of the Mist]].<ref name="SChapter 01">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse]]'' — Chapter 1</ref> Under Hytham's direction, Niamh was tested throughout the city and learned the skills of hiding and [[blending]].
