Warwick Castle
"The history of Warwick Castle is almost as old as the history of England itself. Earls of Warwick
have played their part in most of the dramas of English history. We meet them
in our foreign wars: at Crecy, at Poitiers, and Agincourt, and in Queen Elizabeth's
expedition to Havre. They have been more conspicuous in our civil wars: the wars of Stephen,
and of Edward II, the Wars of the Roses, the rising of Lady Jane Grey, and the
wars of Parliament against Charles I. They have been the hosts of Kings, and also
their executioners."
