  • The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: a Lasting Impact
    The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: A Lasting Impact MATTHEW BAILEY COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS The introduction of gunpowder did not immediately transform the battlefields of Europe. Designers of fortifications only had to respond to the destructive threats of siege warfare, and witnessing the technical failures of early gunpowder weaponry would hardly have convinced a European magnate to bolster his defenses. This essay follows the advancement of gunpowder tactics in late medieval and early Renaissance Europe. In particular, it focuses on Edward III’s employment of primitive ordnance during the Hundred Years’ War, the role of artillery in the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, and the organizational challenges of effectively implementing gunpowder as late as the end of the fifteenth century. This essay also seeks to illustrate the nature of the development of fortification in response to the emerging threat of gunpowder siege weaponry, including the architectural theories of the early Renaissance Italians, Henry VIII’s English artillery forts of the mid-sixteenth century, and the evolution of the angle bastion. The article concludes with a short discussion of the longevity and lasting relevance of the fortification technologies developed during the late medieval and early Renaissance eras. The castle was an inseparable component of medieval warfare. Since Duke William of Normandy’s 1066 conquest of Anglo-Saxon England, the construction of castles had become the earmark of medieval territorial expansion. These fortifications were not simply stone squares with round towers adorning the corners. Edward I’s massive castle building program in Wales, for example, resulted in fortifications so visually disparate that one might assume they were from different time periods.1 Medieval engineers had built upon castle technology for centuries by 1500, and the introduction of gunpowder weaponry to the battlefields of Europe foreshadowed a revision of the basics of fortress design.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Fortification of the Medieval Fort Isar – Shtip
    Trajče NACEV Fortification of the Medieval Fort Isar – Shtip UDK 94:623.1(497.731)”653” University “Goce Delcev” Stip [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The medieval fort Isar, which was built on top of the ruins of the antique town of Astibo, is located on the hill with a North-South orientation in the central city core. The fortification had its largest increase during the 14th century and from this period we have the best preserved architectonic remains of the fortification. The entire fort is surrounded by fortification walls, with the main entrance in their eastern portion. The suburbs are located on the eastern and southern slopes of the Isar hill. At the highest part (the acropolis) there was another, smaller fortification, probably a feudal residence with a remarkable main tower (Donjon). The article reviews the fortification in the context of the results from the 2001 – 2002 and 2008 – 2010 excavation campaigns. During the first campaign, one of the most significant discoveries was the second tower, a counterpart to the main Donjon tower, and the entrance to the main part of the acropolis positioned between them. With the second 2008 – 2010 campaign, the entire eastern fortification wall of the Isar fort was uncovered. Key words: fortification, fort, curtain wall, tower. The medieval fort Isar (Fig. 1) (Pl. 1) that sprouted on the ruins of the ancient city Astibo, is located on a dominant hill between the Bregalnica river from the north and west and Otinja from the south and east, in the downtown core, in the north –south direction.

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages
    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.

  • Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary
    Pre-1500 Military Sites Scheduling Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s scheduling selection guides help to define which archaeological sites are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. For archaeological sites and monuments, they are divided into categories ranging from Agriculture to Utilities and complement the listing selection guides for buildings. Scheduling is applied only to sites of national importance, and even then only if it is the best means of protection. Only deliberately created structures, features and remains can be scheduled. The scheduling selection guides are supplemented by the Introductions to Heritage Assets which provide more detailed considerations of specific archaeological sites and monuments. This selection guide offers an overview of archaeological monuments or sites designed to have a military function and likely to be deemed to have national importance, and sets out criteria to establish for which of those scheduling may be appropriate. The guide aims to do two things: to set these sites within their historical context, and to give an introduction to some of the overarching and more specific designation considerations. This document has been prepared by Listing Group. It is one is of a series of 18 documents. This edition published by Historic England July 2018.

  • Defensive Structures
    Defensive Structures Defensive Structures Bastion (Wikipedia) A bastion is a structure projecting outward from the main enclosure of a fortification, situated in both corners of a straight wall (termed curtain), with the shape of a sharp point, facilitating active defense against assaulting troops. It allows the defenders of the fort to cover adjacent bastions and curtains with defensive fire. The bastion was designed to offer a full range on which to attack oncoming troops. Previous fortifications were of little use within a certain range. The bastion solved this problem. By using cannon to cover the curtain side of the wall, the forward cannon could concentrate on oncoming targets. Types Various types of bastions have been used throughout history. Solid bastions are those that are filled up entirely, and have the ground even with the height of the rampart, without any empty space towards the center. Void or hollow bastions are those that have a rampart, or parapet, only around their flanks and faces, so that a void space is left towards the center. The ground is so low, that if the rampart is taken, no retrenchment can be made in the center, but what will lie under the fire of the besieged. A flat bastion is one built in the middle of a courtain, or enclosed court, when the court is too large to be defended by the bastions at its extremes. The term is also used of bastions built on a right line. A cut bastion is that which has a re-entering angle at the point. It was sometimes also called bastion with a tenaille.

  • Early Medieval Fortifications in Carinthia/Austria and Their Historical and Political Background
    STEFAN EICHERT EARLY MEDIEVAL FORTIFICATIONS IN CARINTHIA/AUSTRIA AND THEIR HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL BACKGROUND ABSTRACT - For the 8th c. there is some first evidence for fortified hilltop settlements used by the Slavic Carantanians for military purposes. In the time of the Karolingian and Ottonian reign over the eastern Alps early medieval fortifications in Carinthia are mentioned in written sources as well as they are proven by archaeological excavations and their number increases. They were part of the royal or imperial villikation-system and archaeological investigations suggest that many of those fortifications were used only temporarily and not inhabited permanently. With the further development of feu- dalism and knighthood many manorial curtes and fortifications lost their importance. From the 12th century onwards in most cases the typical knights’ castles are now the centres of the villikations. KEY WORDS - Early Middle Ages, Carantania, Fortifications, Castles, Ramparts. RIASSUNTO - Per l’VIII secolo sussistono alcune evidenze relative all’occupazione a scopo militare di siti d’altura fortificati da parte degli Slavi Carantani. Per l’epoca cor- rispondente alla dominazione carolingia e ottoniana sulle Alpi orientali, le fonti scritte menzionano la presenza di fortificazioni altomedievali, la cui documentazione va altresì incrementandosi a livello archeologico. Questi siti fortificati erano parte del sistema di villicazione reale o imperiale e la ricerca archeologica suggerisce che molti di essi non furono occupati in modo permanente, bensì solo temporaneamente. Con lo sviluppo ulteriore del feudalesimo e della nobiltà militare, molte curtes e molte fortificazioni persero la loro importanza. Dal XII secolo in poi, in molti casi saranno i tipici castelli signorili a fungere da centri dell’amministrazione rurale.

  • High Medieval Fortification 1200–1350 AD
    Metro Cityring – Kongens Nytorv KBM 3829, Cultural Historical Report High medieval fortification 1200–1350 AD Results The presentation of the remains belonging to the High medieval fortification will be given from two perspectives. Firstly there will be an account of the different feature types – rampart, stockade, posts, fence lines and moat (Fig. 46). After the overall description the features are placed in a structural and historical context. The Late medieval rampart is presented in this chapter since it was difficult to separate the various phases consisting of the same type of building material – though at least two later additions to the rampart have been proven. An attempt has later been made by renewing stratigraphic relationships with the city wall, investigating the inclusion of CBM in the deposits, set in relation to previous archaeological research and written sources. Besides stratigraphical observations some of the deposits and features have been grouped to this phase based on finds and AMS-dates. Museum of Copenhagen 64 Metro Cityring – Kongens Nytorv KBM 3829, Cultural Historical Report Fig. 46. Rampart, moat and other structures related to the High medieval fortification. The lack of rampart layers north and south of the Transformer Station is due to excavation conditions (below kote 0) and the later city wall truncation which had removed the deposits. Rampart On site it was difficult to separate the High medieval rampart from the later additions in the 14th century, since the building material consisted of the same type of mixed brown, grey and yellow moraine with lenses and inclusions of sandy peat and topsoil.
