Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romance of Ashby-De-La-Zouch Castle The ivy clings with sinuous tendrils to the gray old battlements of the castle of Ashby-de-Ia-Zouch; the green grass has carpeted the floors upon which brave knights and fair ladies were wont to loiter in olden days; the winter winds whistle through the halls where Kings and Queens have feasted, where minstrels have sung their lays, and where jesters in cap and bells have made merriment, but a halo of romance will continue to envelope the noble pile so long as its crumbling stones stand upon the green turf. It is the ruined home of the Huntingdons, and owes its decrepitude, not to the wasting hand of time, but to the penalty of the splendid loyalty of its dead lords to their sovereigns. Had its lords been time-servers, their fortress home might have survived the centuries and remained intact to-day, a mere anachronism, a place without a history. A more distinguished fate awaited it, after an inseparable association with English history for near two centuries, and a defiant resistance of the Roundhead artillery its governor made an honourable capitulation.
