Traitors’ Gate is the grandest and most notorious river entrance to the Tower. Famous Tudor prisoners such as Lady Jane Grey are said to have entered the Tower through this watergate.
The entrance has been called Traitors’ Gate since the early 1600s. Prisoners were taken upriver from here to the Westminster courts for trial.
La porte des Traîtres est l’entrée fluviale la plus imposante et la plus tristement célèbre de la Tour.
De célèbres prisonniers des Tudors, tels que Lady Jane Grey, seraient passés par cette entrée pour pénétrer dans la Tour.

Brama Zdrajców jest największym i cieszącym się najgorszą sławą wejściem do twierdzy Tower od strony rzeki.

বিশ্বাসঘাতকদের দ্বার হল নদী খেকে টাওয়ার প্রবেশ সবচেয়ে বড় ও সবচেয়ে কুখ্যাত দ্বার।
কথিত আছে যে লেডি জেন গ্রে মতো বিখ্যাত টিউডর বন্দিরা এই ওয়াটারগেট অতিক্রম করেই টাওয়ারে প্রবেশ করেছিলেন।
1600 এর গোড়ার দিক থেকেই প্রবেশদ্বারটিকে বিশ্বাসঘাতকদের দ্বার বলা হয়। বন্দীদের এখান থেকে নদীর অভিমুখে ওয়েস্টমিনস্টার বিচারালয় বিচারের সর্বত্র বিচারের জন্য নিয়ে যাওয়া হতো।
叛逆之门是从泰晤士河进入伦敦塔最宏伟、最出名的一个门。
据称，众所周知的都铎王室（例如简·格雷夫人）通过这座水门进入伦敦塔。
叛逆之门这个名字起源于17世纪初。囚犯们从这里被带出，逆流而上至威斯敏斯特法庭接受审判。
川に面して建つトレイターズ・ゲートは、ロンドン塔内でも壮大かつ非常に恐れられた門です。
ジェイン・グレイなどチューダー一時代の多くの名のある囚人たちは、この門をくぐってロンドン塔に入りました。
門は1600年代の初めからトレイターズ・ゲート（反逆者の門）と呼ばれるようになりました。囚人はここからIIIを遡り、ウェストミンスターで裁きを受けました。
