Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Library of Romance, Vol. 5: The Bondman About a quarter of a mile south of Winchcombe, on the summit of a gentle elevation, are still the remains of a castle, which, as Fuller says, "was of subjects´ castles the most handsome habitation, and of subjects´ habitations the strongest castle." In the month of August, in the year thirteen hundred and seventy-four, this distinguished place, called Sudley Castle, presented an interesting scene - the then owner, in consequence of his father´s death, holding his first court for receiving the homage and fealty of his vassals. The court-yards were thronged with the retainers of the Baron, beguiling the hour until the ceremony called them into the hall. This apartment, which corresponded in magnificence and beauty with the outward appearance of the noble pile, was of an oblong shape.
