Medieval Castles
Castles have dominated the land for centuries. King Alfred built burhs to hold back the Vikings. King William I built stone strongholds to subdue the English. These are ancient structures offering protection, power and dominance for those tucked safely behind their walls.
Lincoln Castle with two Mottes
Lincoln Castle is a large Norman stronghold built high upon an ancient Roman fort in Lincoln, England. It has two mottes and a large bailey, which is a very rare design, as most motte and bailey castles have just one motte. Lincoln Castle has seen many battles through its time. Royalty, nobility and parliamentarians have all fought to seize control of the castle, with its strategic location in the north, and defensive prowess on top of Castle Hill.
