Excerpt from Sandal in the Olden Time: An Historical Poem
But who is she, whose humble train Approach De w'arren's proud domain? Whose tearful eye, and suppliant mien, And palid brow of beauty rare, So sweetly sad, so passing fair, Would melt an adamant, I ween.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of Sandal Castle, beginning with its origins as a wooden fort in the 10th century, through to its central role in the Wars of the Roses, up until its destruction during the English Civil War in the 17th century. The author has drawn on a plethora of historical documents to piece together this fascinating story, including medieval chronicles, letters, and archaeological evidence. The book is not just a dry retelling of historical events, however. The author brings the castle and its inhabitants to life through vivid descriptions and engaging anecdotes, providing a unique insight into the lives of those who lived and died within its walls. Of particular interest is the author's exploration of the castle's role in the Wars of the Roses, a period of intense civil conflict between the rival houses of Lancaster and York. Sandal Castle was a key stronghold for the Yorkists, and the author provides a detailed account of the sieges and battles that took place there, as well as the tragic story of the murder of the young Earl of Rutland by the Lancastrians. Throughout the book, the author weaves together the personal stories of the castle's inhabitants with the wider political and social events of the time. The result is a rich and multi-layered work that offers a unique perspective on a fascinating period of English history. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
