Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The standard place to imprison damsels in distress and overthrown princes: A tower. Preferably on top of the tallest tower, in the biggest castle, on the highest hill, in the most dangerous land in the whole wide world. After all, It's All Upstairs from Here. May be attached to an Evil Tower of Ominousness or The Alcatraz, although some are freestanding. A Bedsheet Ladder or Rapunzel Hair is an invaluable tool in such cases. Possibly inspired by the Tower of London; originally a royal residence, the Tower later became a prison that was often used to house royal prisoners. See also Locked Away in a Monastery (used for broadly similar purposes, but without the implication of evil) and Madwoman in the Attic (a darker version where someone considered incapable of venturing out into normal society is kept hidden and confined).

Professor Layton and the Curious Village has the daughter of the Baron who owned the eponymous village living in a tower, and the heroes eventually rescue her at the game's ending. This is something of a twist on the trope, however, because she's not imprisoned up there — she can leave the tower whenever she pleases, and in fact is seen doing so (though the heroes don't know who she is at the time). She just can't leave the village. | |

Also happened to the so-called 'Princes in the Tower', the sons of Edward IV of England: 12 year old Edward V, and his little brother, Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, who were placed in the Tower of London by Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Lord Protector, who promptly usurped the throne and became Richard III. They were, nominally at least, under his protection, and occupied this position. Shortly after, however, the boys vanished, and despite the claims of pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, were widely accepted to be dead. 120 years of Tudor propaganda, including a play or two, ensured that Richard III was remembered as their murderer - or at the very least, the man who ordered their deaths. Which, to be fair, he probably was: he was the one with the most to gain and because they vanished without a trace from the most secure fortress in the country, one staffed by Richard's trusted men, and they were supposedly under Richard's protection (meaning that he was at least critically negligent). | |

Astra in Star Stealing Prince; the game kicks off when Prince Snowe learns of her existence and sets off on his own to rescue her. Within Snowe's dream, Dream Astra is one too. It's not necessary to save her to finish the game, but doing so leads to the Good Ending, while not doing so... Ironically, one of the people who put her in the tower, Lina was also an example of this in her backstory due to a prophecy foretelling that her child (Snowe) would destroy the world. | |

This trope is central to the legend of the flower Maiden's Vigil in Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem. The maiden in question, so beautiful that her greedy, jealous father locked her away as a treasure, received the seeds as a gift from a mysterious woman. She planted the seeds outside her tower window and watered them with her tears, and soon enough, the plant grew so large and strong that she was able to climb down the stalk and escape, finally free to determine her own fate. The flower is considered good luck for any young lady with a similarly uncertain future. | |

Like in the Disney version, "Cinderella" gets locked in her tower room by her Wicked Stepmother and her mean stepsisters. Her animal friends bail her out and build a net that they use to fly her to the Royal Palace, so she can put on her slipper and tell the Prince that she's the girl he loves. |

Invoked in one Adventures of the Gummi Bears episode by Cavin; when he and Princess Calla are captured and taken to Drekmore by the ogres, Cavin tells them that royal prisoners go in the tower. The ogres agree, but separate the two by putting Cavin in the regular dungeon. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has Link first meet the imprisoned Zelda in the tallest tower of Hyrule Castle, at which point he's informed that it's not just his home village that's in danger. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has Zelda similarly trapped, but with a twist: she has also been the one keeping Calamity Ganon trapped as a Sealed Evil in a Duel in the same tower ever since she was Swallowed Whole by the beast a century ago. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire; King Baelor the Blessed imprisoned his three sisters to prevent them from tempting him into cardinal sin. They were even known as "The Three Maids in the Tower." Ned thought he was rescuing his sister Lyanna from her kidnapper Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and found her in a remote tower guarded by three knights... but when he gets to her, there is speculation confirmed by the television series that he finds a dying Lyanna after she has just given birth to her son by Rhaegar, asking Ned for a promise to keep her son safe, and Ned thereafter raises his sister's son as his own. Even his wife doesn't know the real relationship between the two. There are also ambiguous implications that Lyanna's disappearance may have been voluntary. Donella Hornwood gets locked in a tower by Ramsay Snow. Sansa Stark was also held in one in Maegor's Holdfast after her father and members of his household were killed. Neither of them were rescued during their stays in their respective towers, though Lady Donella's fate is considerably worse. The fourth book of the series has a chapter called "The Princess in the Tower," about Princess Arianne of Dorne after she has tried and failed to crown Myrcella Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and start a war with the Lannisters. Val, the so-called "wildling princess", is held captive by Stannis Baratheon in one of the towers of Castle Black — and she is even protected by a (sentient and friendly) giant. Ser Patrek's foolish attempt to prove his worth as a suitor, vying for her hand, causes no end of chaos. |

Princess Shirahoshi from One Piece is a variation: Her Stalker with a Crush, Vander Decken, can literally kill her from miles away because of his powers. This means that she had to stay confined in her room, which is located atop a tower, for ten years. Since she's only sixteen, that means she literally spent most of her life in that tower. | |

Deirdre of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is a largely voluntary case. She's not physically locked up, but lives in a very secluded community in a forest and she's strictly forbidden from meeting men from the outside. This is because she is a distant descendant of Loputus, and could potentially give birth to someone capable of resurrecting him. Also, Deirdre's mother Cygiun was subjected to the same treatment, for exactly the same reason. The sort-of sequel Thracia 776 reveasls that Manfloy's heiress and granddaughter Sara was also locked away from the world. She is very unhappy about it. |

In the Conan the Barbarian story "The Hour of the Dragon," the Countess Albiona (a supporter of King Conan) is imprisoned in the Iron Tower of Tarantia because she refused to become the consort of a tyrannical puppet king. Conan infiltrates the tower through a hidden door, kills her jailers, and rescues her. Also, in The People of the Black Circle the Devi Yasmina is captured and imprisoned in a tower atop Mount Yimsha. This time, Conan infiltrates the tower with the help of an enchanted girdle that protects him from the magic of the evil wizards within. |

Exploited in a Conan the Barbarian story: The princess in question is just a preserved corpse automated to wave once in a while, to lure potential challengers (who have to give up a deposit and sign an indemnity form first. Another Savage Sword of Conan story had Conan rescue a young princess locked away in a tower in the middle of a lost land by her father. Said princess was actually a powerful demon who, upon being freed, destroyed her father's kingdom. |

Perfect Cherry Blossom: While it's more of an afterlife, the Hakugyokurou where Yuyuko resides is translated as "White Jade Tower". It's located high above the storm clouds.

Princess Cassima of King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow spends most of the game in a tower. In fact, her musical motif is called "Girl in the Tower." Valanice of King's Quest II: Romancing The Throne was also imprisoned in a tower; Graham takes it upon himself to rescue her, hoping for a Standard Hero Reward. Rosella was also locked in a tower in Lolotte's castle in King's Quest IV: The Perils Of Rosella. Good thing Edgar was more fond of her than he was of Lolotte. Taken Up to Eleven in King's Quest (2015) Chapter 3, which retells the end of King's Quest II where Graham finds Valanice in a tower. Only this time, there are two girls in the tower, and Graham becomes trapped there as well when it turns out that he rushed off to find his true love in the tower without thinking of how to actually rescue them. It turns out that Hagatha, who was the original girl in this tower, was invoking this trope by capturing maidens and imprisoning them in the tower in an attempt to get someone to come rescue them all, since she thought she was too ugly for anyone to want to save her by herself. In the end, Graham ends up freeing them all and marries one of the two girls who reveals her name to be "Valanice", though the other girl ends up back in the tower by the events of Chapter 4. |

The Flash Tub cartoon Platform Hero plays with this trope. To be precise, it plays electric guitar with this trope. | |

Namine in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The twist is that although she was legitimately being held prisoner, she was cooperating with the bad guys by manipulating Sora's memories so that he would want to save her and thus becoming the pawn of Big Bad Marluxia. Her conscience wins out and she turns against her captors. | |

Gender flipped in Sleeping Beetle, which puts - of all characters - Beetlejuice into the Sleeping Beauty role. It makes sense in context... mostly. | |

An episode of Tales From The Cryptkeeper had a twisted take on this, where the person the Prince Charmless and his put-upon younger brother think is a traditional Sleeping Beauty is actually a vampire. | |
