Fix this textHTHE quaint and busy market town of
Fix this textAshby de la Zouch, in Leicestershire,
Fix this textpossesses the picturesque ruins of a castle
Fix this textwhich dates mainly from 1474, but these
Fix this textruins incorporate some scanty remains of
Fix this textan earlier castle or manor which was
Fix this textgranted to Hugh de Grantmesnil by Wil-
Fix this textliam the Conqueror (1066-1087). About
Fix this text1160 it passed to Alan de la Zouch, a
Fix this textBreton, who married the heiress to the
Fix this textmanor, and it remained in that family’s
Fix this textpossession until the end of the fourteenth
Fix this textcentury. In 1461, after the battle of
Fix this textTowton, Edward IV seized the castle and
Fix this textgranted it to Sir William. Hastings in
Fix this text1464.
Fix this textHastings fortified the castle and built
Fix this textthe keep, shown here, which is its most
Fix this textprominent feature. Sir William (after-
Fix this textwards Lord) Hastings was a strong
Fix this textYorkist during the Wars of the Roses.
Fix this textHe became a great favourite of Edward
Fix this textIV, and was made Chamberlain of the
Fix this textRoyal Household and Master of the
Fix this textMint. In 1471 he became Lieutenant of
Fix this textCalais. At the death of his royal patron
Fix this texthe was denounced as a traitor by the new
Fix this textking, Richard 111, and was held in the
Fix this textTower of London. In June, 1484, he was
Fix this textsummarily executed.
Fix this textThe hall, kitchen tower, chapel and
Fix this textother buildings of Ashby de la Zouch
Fix this textCastle date mainly from the 14th cen-,
Fix this texttury, but some Norman masonry is in-
Fix this textcorporated in the hall. A particularly
Fix this textfine decorated fireplace can be seen in
Fix this textthe castle keep.
Fix this textOn two occasions, once in 1569 and
Fix this textagain in 1586, Mary Queen of Scots
Fix this textspent a night in this castle, and both
Fix this textJames I (1603-1625) and Charles I (1625-
Fix this text1649) stayed here. During the Civil War
Fix this textthe castle was held for the King and sus-
Fix this texttained a long siege, but surrendered after
Fix this textthe Battle of Naseby, in 1645, when
Fix this textCharles I and Prince Rupert were de-
Fix this textcisively beaten by Fairfax. Ashby de la
Fix this textZouch castle was then partially destroyed
Fix this textby the Parliamentary forces. Today it is
Fix this textfamous as being the locale of several
Fix this textscenes in “Ivanhoe,” in which Sir Walter
Fix this textScott weaved much romance into the
Fix this textcastle ruins. Castle Ashby de la Zouch
Fix this textis the subject of a once popular song.
