O. Prestwich, has been the importance of the king’s household knights. In his first book, War, Politics and Finance under Edward I, published in 1972, Michael asked and answered such key questions as ‘how were [knights] recruited for the household, how long did they serve, and what were their rewards?’ He showed that the knights, a body about 100 strong in 1284–5, formed the core of royal armies, and ‘might also be used on matters of state quite unconnected with the business of campaigning’.

EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

A Short History of Colchester Castle
Colchester Borough Council Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service A SHORT HISTORY OF COLCHESTER CASTLE 1066, the defeat of the English by the invading army of Duke William of Normandy. After his victory at the Battle of Hastings, William strengthened his hold on the defeated English by ordering castles to be built throughout the country. Colchester was chosen for its port and its important military position controlling the southern access to East Anglia. In 1076 work began on Colchester Castle, the first royal stone castle to be built by William in England. The castle was built around the ruins of the colossal Temple of Claudius using the Roman temple vaults as its base, parts of which can be seen to this day. As a result the castle is the largest ever built by the Normans. It was constructed mainly of building material from Colchester's Roman ruins with some imported stone. Most of the red brick in the castle was taken from Roman buildings. England, William's newly won possession, was soon under threat from another invader, King Cnut of Denmark. The castle had only been built to first floor level when it had to be hastily strengthened with battlements. The invasion never came and work resumed on the castle which was finally completed to three or four storeys in 1125. The castle came under attack in 1216 when it was besieged for three months and eventually captured by King John after he broke his agreement with the rebellious nobles (Magna Carta). By 1350, however, its military importance had declined and the building was mainly used as a prison.

Story of Henry the Forgetful!
TOKE GS CA IN N S A A L B and Odiham Castle The Story of ry The Forget Hen ful Story Trail www.hants.gov.uk/storytrails Basingstoke Canal and Odiham Castle Basingstoke Canal runs for 32 miles through scenic countryside between Greywell Village in Hampshire and Woodham in Surrey. Originally a transport system for agricultural produce, it had become derelict by the mid-1960’s, fuelling a campaign for its restoration. This resulted in its current renewed linkage into the 2,000 miles of British inland waterways. Designated as a Site of Special and Scientific Interest, it is an outstanding habitat for aquatic plant and animal life, with natural springs in the canal bed helping to keep it in water. Carefully restored canal bridges, the lakes and flashes near Mytchett and the flights of locks in Surrey are just some of the many features of the canal. Greywell Tunnel is especially interesting as it is home to many species of bats. After its collapse in 1932 it now blocks navigation to the original end point at Basingstoke. Another important feature of the canal is Odiham Castle, one of three strongholds built by King John, and the place from which he rode out to Magna Carta in 1215. Construction took place between 1207 and 1214 and involved setting out square moats and raising banks. In 1216, shortly after it was finished, it suffered a two-week siege at the hands of the French. During the 13th century it became home to the de Montfort family, and would have been one of the most powerful households in the land at the time.

A History of Usk the Roman Legionary Fortress of Burrium Was Founded on the Site of Usk in 55 AD
A History of Usk The Roman Legionary Fortress of Burrium was founded on the site of Usk in 55 AD. It was the earliest legionary fortress in Wales. However, by 75AD the Romans had relocated their permanent base to Caerleon, seven miles away. Usk continued to be occupied as a civilian settlement with evidence of iron working. By the twelfth Century the town had been turned into a stronghold with a hilltop castle and a medieval street plan. As well as this, during 1170 a Benedictine priory was founded and the remains of this are still retained in the church of Saint Mary. Richard de Clare the second Earl of Pembroke built Usk Castle as part of their family’s plans to control the areas resources and people. 1402 saw the Welsh revolt during which much of the town was destroyed. Owain Glyndwr burned Usk to the ground in his quest to take control of much of South Wales from the English King Henry IV and his son King Henry V. The battle of Pwll Melyn in 1405 occurred north of Usk Castle, causing a substantial loss of life. After their defeat, 300 welsh prisoners were executed in front of the castle. From 1431, William ap Thomas seized Usk. His son William Herbert carried out improvements at the castle including installing large windows and fireplaces. However, following the death of Herbert during the Battle of Edgecote, the castle began to decline. In 1933, the Humphreys family purchased the castle for the sum of £525.00; with this they received one donkey and one flag.
