Description: | William the Conqueror founded Windsor Castle over 900 years ago. This site was favoured over others due to its proximity to London - only one day's march to the Tower of London. Its elevated position over the River Thames was an obvious strategic advantage, and there were also several hunting-grounds close by. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
