  • The Impact Off Crusader Castles Upon European Western Castles
    THE IMPACT OF CRUSADER CASTLES UPON EUROPEAN WESTERN CASTLES IN THE MIDDLE AGES JORDAN HAMPE MAY 2009 A SENIOR PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- LA CROSSE Abstract: During the Middle Ages, the period from roughly AD 1000-1450, the structure of castles changed greatly from wooden motte and bailey to stone keeps and defenses within stone city walls. The reason for the change was largely influenced by the crusades as Europeans went to the Holy Lands to conquer. In addition to conquering, these kings brought back a new way of designing and fortifying their castles in England, Wales and France. Without the influence of the crusades, what we think of as true middle age castles would not exist. For my paper I will analyze the impact the crusades had on forming the middle age castles by evidence surviving in the archaeological record from before and after the crusades as well as modifications done on castles to accommodate crusader changes to show the drastic influence of crusader castle fortifications upon English, Welsh and French castles. 1 Introduction Construction of what is believed to be true middle age castles from A.D. 1000 to 1450 began as kings arrived back from the crusades to the Holy Lands, bringing with them ideas of how to make their castles grander and more easily defensible. Before the crusades William I of England was beginning to develop a new concentric style of castle beginning with the Tower of London. After the crusades many English, Welsh and French kings took the concentric concept and combined it with what they saw on the crusades and developed it to become majestic castles and fortresses like Chateau Gaillard in France, Dover Castle in England, and Caernarvon Castle in Wales.

  • The Testudo and the Battle of Caer Caradoc, AD 50
    The testudo and the Battle of Caer Caradoc, AD 50 This case study will consider the Battle of Caer Caradoc as a historical event and an illustration of Rome’s battle strategies. The sources for the event reveal a number of difficulties in reconstructing Rome’s battles, especially when historical accounts are decidedly one-sided. The Battle of Caer Caradoc: sources Caratacus and his brother Togodumnus were ambitious tribal generals for the Catuvellaunian tribes of Wales. They led an offensive as well as guerrilla attacks against the Roman forces from the start of the Roman invasion under Claudius (AD 43), and in AD 50 Caratacus prepared to make his last stand against the Roman forces. The main source for this battle is Tacitus’ Annales (12.33–38), whose father-in-law Agricola served extensively in Roman Britain (Slide 2). In his account of the Roman victory, it is worth noting what is omitted (Slide 3): for instance, we have no estimates of how many men Caratacus commanded or how many he lost. It is assumed that he fought with the Ordovices, who inhabited the neighbouring territories, but the Romans’ knowledge of Britain’s tribes was not extensive, nor, on many occasions, even considered relevant by Roman historians. We also do not know the exact site of the battle (Slide 4). While Caer Caradoc means the ‘fort of Caratacus’ in Welsh, and there are some remains of a fort, this site (and especially the location of the river Severn) does not tally precisely with Tacitus’ description. While the eastern parts of the Roman empire had a tradition of written history long before Rome, the western provinces did not have any such tradition.

  • North-West Wales Itinerary: the Castles and Town Walls of Edward I
    North-west Wales itinerary: the castles and town walls of Edward I From 1276 Edward I, King of England, established a mighty set of castles and towns in north Wales as part of his military campaign to defeat the Welsh princes. Amongst the castles built by Edward I are Caernarfon, Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech, which collectively hold World Heritage Site status. The castles represent the best castle building skills in Western Europe at the time, and were built over a short timescale and on a hugely ambitious scale. With massive curtain walls and towers and powerful gatehouses, the ring of castles has a powerful presence in the landscape of Snowdonia and symbolises the huge effort by Edward I to dominate north Wales and fight against the Welsh resilience. Conwy Castle and Town Walls Each castle has individual stories to tell.... Conwy Castle was built by Master James of St George and is amongst the finest surviving medieval fortifications in Britain. It’s hard to believe that it was built at breakneck speed in four short building seasons between 1283 and 1287. Climb the towers and turrets and find out how the Welsh captured the castle in the fifteenth-century from the English rule. To get the full picture, head for the battlements, where there are breathtaking views across mountains and sea. Harlech Castle Caernarfon Castle and Town Walls Harlech Castle’s battlements spring out of a near-vertical cliff-face. After all these years Caernarfon’s immense strength remains Edward’s tried and tested ‘walls within walls’ model was put together undimmed.
