The Siege of Whittington Castle 1403

The year is 1403, Owain Glyndŵr, Prince of Wales, is in open rebellion against the
English crown and vying for his country's independence. He now strikes out at
English held castles in the Marches, hoping to prove to King Henry IV that this
rebellion will not be so easily contained within the Welsh borders as he had hoped.
Glyndŵr’s sight is now fixed on Whittington castle, a small stronghold within the
territory of the Marcher Lord Thomas FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel. Glyndŵr hopes to
take the castle to show the Marcher lords that the Welsh will not be so easily
pacified.
Come see knights and soldiers battle it out for control of the castle!
Witness medieval siege warfare first hand!
See a variety of living history displays showing the daily life of the period!
Get a look at medieval medicine with the barber-surgeon!
See the equipment of the medieval soldier as they prepare for battle
