But what were the castles? A castle is considered to be a fortress, building or a set of buildings the purpose of which was to defend against enemies. It is a usual idea of most people, but were castles built just for fighting or self-defence? From the 11th to the 14th century, the British landscape experienced its heyday of castle-building. Several thousand castles were built, but not necessarily as fortresses. A small minority of British castles ever experienced any fighting. Most castles were also stately homes which provided space for lots of people. It was a unique combination of the military and residential function what made a castle different from other types of fortifications. The residential role of the castle was as important as the military function. Nevertheless, castles were much more than defensive strongholds and grand residences for lords. Rather than judging from an exterior surface of the castle, one must think of the background in which they were built, who built them, when they were built and what was happening in Britain at that time. Castles were a reflection of the needs, expectations and peculiarity of the men who built and lived in them. The aim of this thesis is to compare the role of castles throughout the Middle Ages. It describes significant historical events and also the people who used the castles as their home, fortress, centre of administration or as an instrument of invasion. The thesis also analyses how the architectural features reflect a function of a castle. The first chapter provides a brief description of Norman people and William I. It deals with the pre-conquest castles, motte-and-bailey castles and analyses why William I started building them. It depicts what the early medieval castle looked like, its origin and what function it had. The chapter also describes the establishment of the feudal system in England. The part of the chapter fully explores the design and development of the Norman castle. It explains key features, materials and organization embraced in the first stone castles. The second chapter examines the development in the castle architecture during the reign of Plantagenet kings. It starts with the brief introduction of kings and their asset to the castle building. The chapter analyses military features of a castle and what function the castle had in the wartime. It illustrates how the castle began to adopt the classical form and examines castles as a centre for communities and the base for lords. It is also concerned with the residential function of the castle. The part of the chapter also deals with the development of prison in the castles. The most famous castles, including Tower of London, Rochester Castle, and Dover Castle are analysed. The last part of the chapter provides a description of the 6 people who worked, lived or struggled in castles and a connection between a castle and its surroundings. As Edward I was the greatest castle-building king, the whole of the third chapter is devoted to his life and his main castles and their function. This part of the thesis analysis Edward's influence on building castles in Wales. The chapter also focuses on his great cooperation with Master James of St George and their magnificent castles, including Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon. The other part examines Edward’s attempt to conquer Scotland and it depicts sieges of Caerlaverock Castle, Stirling Castle and Kildrummy Castle. The chapter ends with the death of Edward I and the reign of his son Edward II. The final part of the thesis accounts for destruction of the castles during Robert the Bruce's reign. The chapter provides an explanation for the reason why Bruce did not use castles which he had captured for occupation. The chapter clarifies the reasons why the castles suffered a decline in their military importance. 7 1. Norman Castles Who were the Medieval Normans? The similarities between the Normans and their Viking predecessors were obvious. They succeeded in battles due to their careful planning, speed of movement and decisiveness. They had good business sense and yet the Normans soon adopted Carolingian feudalism, cavalry warfare and Christianity that set them apart from the Vikings. (Gravett & Nicolle 2006, p. 8) The Normans established a power base in northern France that became the Duchy of Normandy. One of the most powerful dukes, who also later became the first Norman king of England, was William I. He was the illegitimate son of Duke of Normandy, Robert the Magnificent. William succeeded his father in 1035 when he was a little boy. He witnessed one siege after another. William participated in destroying the enemies’ castles and building new ones. His ongoing struggle for survival reinforced his resolution and William soon became respected and feared not just in Normandy. (Morris, 2003, pp. 21-22) Later on, he got married to Matilda, who had descent from the Anglo-Saxon House of Wessex. In addition, William was also second cousin of the childless Edward the Confessor. (Lepage, 2012, p. 118) When King Edward the Confessor died in 1066, Harold II. Godwinson seized the moment and succeeded to the throne. However, Duke William swore that he had been named as an heir to the English throne during Edward's previous exile in Normandy. During the summer in 1066 Harold won a victory against the Norwegians, but he did not enjoy it for a long time. (Morris, 2003, pp. 23-24) Messengers arrived from the south and brought the news that William the Normandy had landed with the army of not more than five thousand warriors near the Roman fort of Anderida. The first William’s act was to rebuild the fort into a castle. Then he moved along the coast to Hastings where he compelled Saxon labourers to build another castle, vividly illustrated in the Bayeux Tapestry (Figure 1). There he awaited the arrival of King Harold and his army. Harold was a capable leader, but he made several tactic mistakes in the Battle of Hastings and they cost him the battle and his life. Having achieved the victory over Harold, William was unwilling to advance into the interior of an unknown country. He moved along the coast to Dover. There was another Roman fort which offered William a strong base. He built there a castle from which he could advance and withdraw if necessary. William met Anglo-Saxon leaders on the way to London and they submitted and swore allegiance to him. On Christmas Day in 1066 the Duke of Normandy was crowned King of England in the Confessor's own abbey church of Westminster. (Pounds, 1994, p. 3) However, to occupy the 8 largest city did not mean to control the country. The people from the west and north refused to submit to the new king. In addition, King William was also Duke of Normandy hence he had to spend a great deal of time there. Pounds (1994) states that William's solution was to grant land to a class of men with a vested interest in the Norman settlement and simultaneously introduced a castle as a fortified home and military base. (p. 5) Norman castles played a central role in the implementation of feudalism.

  • MEDIEVAL STONE WINDOW TRACERY This Fragment of Window Tracery (Ornamental Stonework) Is Made from Sandstone
    SOURCE 2 MEDIEVAL STONE WINDOW TRACERY This fragment of window tracery (ornamental stonework) is made from sandstone. It filled the space over an arch. It is kept in our archaeological store at Wrest Park. This dragon carving is probably from the 13th century. William de Valence took ownership of Goodrich Castle in 1247, on his marriage to Joan, the heiress of William Marshal 1st earl of Pembroke. The coat of arms of the Earls of Pembroke was the red dragon. SOURCE 3 ‘Item 10 shillings 6 pence in procuring 3 carts to transport the mistress’s property by road.

  • GOODRICH. It Is Still in the Keeping of the Vicar, and Is Regarded As A
    GOODRICH. 2 35 It is still in the keeping of the vicar, and is regarded as a relic of high value. On April 18th, 1890, the present vicar discovered the tombstone of his predecessor, the Rev. Thomas Swift, buried under the altar steps of Goodrich chancel. It bears the following mscnptwn• • • :- "Here lyeth the Body of Mr. THOMAS SWIFT, Who died the second day of June, 1658, Aged 62 years and tenne moneths, Who was Vicar of Goodridge 34 years." The house built by him, called "New House," is still standing, and bears date 1637. It is built on a curious plan, resembling in shape the Arms of the Isle of Man. On a finely wooded promontory, round which the river Wye flows in a semi-circular direction, and about 3 miles to the south of the town of Ross, stand the massive ruins of Goodrich Castle, for a long period the residence of the Talbots, Earls of Shrewsbury. By whom it was originally founded is unknown; though the near affinity of its name to that of Godrz'cus Dux, who occurs as a witness to two charters granted by King Canute to the abbey of Hulen, has given rise to a not improbable conjecture that he was the person. The keep, which is entirely detached from the rest of the ruins, was probably built early in 1100, and is undoubtedly Norman, though it is said to have been built by Micmac and his son, who were Irish prisoners, as their ransom. It stands close to the outward wall of the castle, and had no window on the outside next the country.

  • Starter Activities
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARCHIVES TAKE ONE CASTLE - PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES INTRODUCTION This resource is intended to allow teachers to use the Gloucester Castle accounts roll in an inspiring, cross-curricular way. It is based on the National Gallery’s Take One Picture programme (see: www.takeonepicture.org.uk), which promotes the use of one picture as a rich and accessible source for cross-curricular learning. The Take One approach follows three stages: imagination, evidence and pupil-led learning. The Take One model was adopted for the use of archive documents by Gloucestershire Archives after the Take One Prisoner project funded by the MLA (Museums, Libraries & Archives) Council. ABOUT THE DOCUMENT The Gloucester castle account roll (Gloucestershire Archives Reference: D4431/2/56/1) is a list of the financial expenditure on the castle that was undertaken by the King’s Custodian of Gloucester castle, Sir Roger de Clifford, from December 1263 to March 1266. It was compiled by de Clifford as a record of the expenditure he undertook to strengthen the castle and its defences as ordered by Prince Edward when he was present in the castle in March 1262. This roll is an original document that was part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, a 19th century antiquary of Gloucestershire and which is now held at Gloucestershire Archives. Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle A transcript in English was created in 1976 by Mrs M Watson of Painswick and is also held at Gloucestershire Archives under the reference GMS 152. There exists a shorter duplicate copy of the roll (which omits the names and details of the building works), that was created by a government official in the Crown’s Exchequer soon after the original had been written.
