Description: | This is a page from an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. It is a list of castles, parks and forests for Radnor, Brecknock, Cardigan and Caermarthen. Knowledge of this sort was important from a military point of view as castles provided an opportunity for defence or attack, parks provided a place for troops to camp and rest and forests to hide, or cause an obstruction on route. This list accompanies a map of the area. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | William Cecil, Lord Burghley | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
