Plate 62: Constructing the Black Castle, Part 28: the crenellated battlement extends over both bastions
(This plate added MAR 2004)
|
The crenellated battlement has now been extended over the front walls of both bastions. The corbels are keeping pace with the crenellations.
The figure posing before the entrance arch represents a King of England from the Fifteenth Century, namely, King Henry V of the House of Lancaster, who ruled from 1413 to 1422. The architecture of the Black Castle is characteristic of this period in history. |
