amandak I'm a grade 11 student and I have a history project to do on castles. My partner and I ahve decided to norrow it down a bit and do it on castles that had a major affect in battles but I have been having a tough time finding any infomation about important castles in battles. So was wondering if anyone here had any information for me.It would be much helpful and I would be so grateful. Thank You
Osiris a famous battle was in the play Macbeth, unfortunately im not sure whether it was fictional or not, but the castle was in Scotland, called Glasgow i think???
Queuxgropius Do you mean sieges,or only battles? Rochester castle siege is a notable one.
Queuxgropius There were sieges at the following castles over,Montsegur,Chateau Galliard and St.andrews. Perhaps that is what you mean?
Paul I realise that this an old topic but I thought that some folks may be interested in reading my account of the Great Siege of Rochester castle of 1215 which can be found here. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/castles/page34.html
I have also written an account of the great siege of Dover castle of 1216 which can also be found on my site.

Maria That was nice. What happened to the Magna Charta? Was it declared illegal and stayed so? Or was it still vailable?
Paul Hi Maria,Magna Carta was re-issued in 1216,1217 and with minor amendments in 1225.
It was declared "not only shameful and base but also
illegal and unjust" by Pope Innocent III but the Archbishop of Canterbury
( Stephen Langton ) refused to condemn the charter.
In the future, Kings of England were bound to respect the charter in the fear of another baronial rebellion.
It is not known how many copies of Magna Carta were made but only
four now exist.One is in Lincoln cathedral,another in Salisbury cathedral, the other two
being in the British library.
Regards, Paul.
