Description: | Close-up outlined view of the grey, craggy ruin of Dunstanburgh Castle. Its ruins are relatively sparse compared to Northumberland's other castles, and it is more modern than its condition suggests. It was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster in the 14th century on the site of former Roman and Iron Age settlements, and was altered by John of Gaunt in 1380-4. It later became a Lancastrian stronghold during the War of the Roses. | 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 |
