History
Renaissance
During the time of the early Renaissance, London was ruled by King Henry VII of England. During the early 16th century, the Templars made attempts to obtain the British throne. However, their plans were thwarted by Henry VII, as he imprisoned Lambert Simnel and had Perkin Warbeck hanged.[1][2]
In 1503, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the Grand Master of the Italian Assassins, sent a group of his apprentices to London to aid King Henry. They killed Simnel and Warbeck's co-conspirator Margaret of York in November 1503. After her death, they killed several Templars instigating riots over Margaret's death. One of these Templars revealed that they had infiltrated Henry's Star Chamber, and the apprentices quickly looked for the infiltrators. They found a group of Englishmen signing Borgia documents and eliminated them. As a reward, King Henry offered the Assassins a seat in the Star Chamber.[1][2]
Later during the 16th century, Queen Mary I obtained an Apple of Eden and began her rule over England.[3]

Towards the end of the 19th century, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn existed in London and was the hometown of the order's founders William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers.[4]
