Little attention has been paid by historians to the production of firearms in the Tower of London in the fifteenth century before the reign of Henry VII. This is due to the lack of surviving records for the office of the ordnance prior to the 1490s. The discovery of the earliest surviving set of accounts by a Master of the Ordnance based at the Tower, however, means that it is now possible to examine the manufacture and refurbishment of guns at the Tower in the early 1470s. This evidence demonstrates that Edward IV was responsible for the re-establishment of the Tower as the principle facility for the production and storage of firearms in England, which laid important foundations that his Tudor successors built upon.

伦敦塔和爱德华四世统治时期的枪支

历史学家很少关注亨利七世统治之前的 15 世纪伦敦塔的火器生产。这是因为缺乏 1490 年代之前的军械办公室的幸存记录。然而,塔楼的一位军械大师发现了现存最早的一组账目,这意味着现在可以检查 1470 年代初期在塔楼的枪支制造和翻新情况。这一证据表明,爱德华四世负责重建塔作为英格兰生产和储存枪支的主要设施,这为他的都铎王朝的继任者奠定了重要的基础。
