The siege at Kenilworth was a testament to modern warfare at the time. The rebellious barons holding Kenilworth Castle not only had stocked the food supplies in preparation for siege but had also obtained siege engines for defense. . King Henry III originally brought 60,000 crossbows and 9 siege engines. But the defenders had longer-range devices and so the King had to send for better weapons. The barons at Kenilworth had held a well-fortified castle through careful planning and a skillful defense. . The siege lasted 172 days, the longest siege in English medieval history, and ended with the surrender of the barons not because of the King’s force but due to food running out and disease beginning to spread. The barons agreed to terms that gave their old lands back through excessive payments. . But… while this siege took place, who was watching? King Henry’s eldest son, Edward who would succeed him as Edward I. . Edward I learnt from Kenilworth and is the king we know both built and destroyed some of the most impressive castles in the UK! He built Conwy and Caenarfon but also successfully besieged Stirling (building the trebuchet War Wolf in the process). . . . #castle #keep #architecture #castlesofinstagram #castles_oftheworld #travel #history #monumentaleurope #medievalworld #fiftyshades_of_history #loves_united_castle #escapelondon #uk_shooters #englishheritage @englishheritage #historicengland #lovegreatbritain #castlesofengland #escapelondon #kenilworth #kenilworthcastle #visitengland #lovegreatbritain

Kenilworth Castle. Imagine all this green… as a mere, or lake. And you need to attack! . In 1266, King Henry III began the Siege of Kenilworth to oust the followers of the late Simon de Montfort. The king had previously granted the castle to Montfort for life, but following Montfort’s death in 1265 the castle was not returned to royal hands and so the siege began. . The castle withstood 6 months of siege not least due to the enormous mere that covered the ground here. The water prevented the king’s forces from getting close enough to undermine the walls! . Barges were even brought overground(!) from Chester, almost a hundred miles away, so that a waterborne attack could be attempted. Defenders managed to repel this too, and the siege went on… . To be continued! . . . #castle #keep #architecture #castlesofinstagram #castles_oftheworld #travel #history #monumentaleurope #medievalworld #fiftyshades_of_history #loves_united_castle #escapelondon #uk_shooters #englishheritage @englishheritage #historicengland #lovegreatbritain #castlesofengland #escapelondon #kenilworth #kenilworthcastle #visitengland #lovegreatbritain #castlesandchateaux
