Synopsis
Most probably of Saxon origin, Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight saw military action only twice in its history, in 1136 and 1377. However, the site held enormous strategic importance, especially in defending England against the Vikings and was the place of imprisonment of Charles I in 1647. This concise guide includes both a history of the site and a tour of the major features of the interior and exterior.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Carisbrooke Castle has been the most important stronghold on the Isle of Wight from at least Saxon times. The keep and main walls were built soon after the Norman conquest, and the castle was frequently updated over the centuries - under the threat of Spanish invasion in Elizabeth I's reign it was transformed into a state-of-the-art artillery fortress. During the Civil War it was used as a prison, most famously housing Charles I, who twice attempted - and failed - to escape while he was held here in 1647-8. The castle also served as a magnificent residence for the lords and governors of the Isle of Wight, including Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, who used Carisbrooke as her summer home until 1938. This guidebook provides a full tour and history of the castle and its occupants. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003310042
