I live near to the castle, since the filming of the episode it's been consolidated, cleared, a staircase put in to walk up to the entrance, walls topped off so that no more can fall and had a concrete floor put inside so you walk around inside, made safe and been opened up to visit for free to all.

Nasty piece of work was Sam Moore. "In 1616, Samuel More accused his wife Katherine More of adultery and bearing four children with Jacob Blakeway, a neighbour. Samuel More, under his father Richard's direction, removed the four children from their home. Four years later, without their mother's knowledge, they were transported to the New World on board the Pilgrim Fathers' ship the Mayflower". 3 of the 4 children died that winter and are commemorated on the Pilgrim Memorial Tomb, Cole's Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts

This has been the most interesting episode, because men were involved in a death struggle. Shards of pottery don't compare with hopelessness. The defenders expected they were going to be killed whether or not a fight occurred. They expected no mercy would be given, so they gave none in return. They gave as bloody a defense as could be given. The glimmer of mercy was an illusion. It is thankful we still hear their names today.

@sarumano884 2 жыл бұрын

You could expect a 'massacre' in those days. When the besiegers set up, they invited you to surrender. If you did, the besiegers got a new castle, you walked out, bearing arms. If you didn't, your garrison was besieged, until a breach was smashed through your wall. If you surrendered then, you might expect recrimination and loss of weapons and property. If you carried on fighting, the 'rules' of those days allowed the besiegers to kill the stubborn lot of you, for wasting their time and manpower...

Thank you for penning this - I wanted to say the same. If you were offered quarter, you could expect to surrender with honour and your lives. If you declined quarter, then your lives were forfeit, at the whim of the opposing commander if he managed to make you surrender. There were many equivalents, all the way into the Napoleonic wars and beyond, where such massacres were within the rules of the time. It's poor from Tony to use the terms murder and war crime so anachronistically.

This reminds me of the Lamont massacre by the Campbells in Dunoon, Argyll. In 1646. The Campbells asked for hospitality, which was given at the Lamont stronghold of Castle Toward. The Lamonts were then slaughtered in their beds and the bodies thrown down the well to poison the water. After the Lamonts surrendered, the Campbells reneged on the terms. The Lamonts were then taken to Dunoon and over 200 hundred Lamont Clan members were killed. I grew up in Toward and then Dunoon. The castle is still partially standing in Toward and there is a monument to the massacre in Dunoon.

Im an American and I absolutely love Time Team! Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in (do Brits use this saying? lol) but I wanted to give my take on why the order was given to kill all the castle defenders. This was a war, and as we have seen, battles can often times become about the ones who you are fighting beside more so than the overall cause. Remember, not only did the Parliamentarian's refuse to surrender multiple times, but shot to pieces a LOT of Royalists. I would be willing to bet that they were put to the sword out of vengeance after seeing their fellow soldiers killed. Every war ever fought has this type of thing happen. Movies have used this many many times as part of a story arc. A very brutal, bloody and cruel act indeed but a very human one as well.

Monotheism is just one of the many forms that bigotry takes. Nationalism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, classism, ageism, etc, are all based on unfounded biases (delusions) and unwarranted fear (cowardice). Monotheism though is the most insidious form of bigotry. It is the belief that everyone can *only* have the exact same invisible friend, and that this invisible friend can only do and say the things the wealthy elite say they can.

Captain Priamus Davies , is an Ancestor on my Mothers side, I also have a number of documents that relate to the Parliamentarians that were in what is called the Marches, they Document that many involved in the Encounters with the Cavaliers from Somerset through Gloucestershire including Gloucester Castle and the Castles and Fortified towns through Herefordshire into Shropshire, were Men of Wales who had been lifted by Cromwell who spoke their Tongue, many did not live to see old age, Priamus Davies himself was imprisoned at Chester I believe. This shows the Brutality of Prince Rupert, who with many of his Cavalier Generals had pleasure in watching men women and children put to the Sword, whatever the rights or wrongs of Cromwell and many other Intelligent and Honourable Men and Women, the English Civil War had created fear amongst peoples of Religion in England Ireland Scotland and Wales, sadly the problems in Northern Ireland still persist through a Religious divide, so to it has in Scotland, but to a much lesser yet still worrying degree.

It's a reasonably priced tabletop board game that will make you wonder why games workshop thinks their minis are made up gold or platinum ..... Sorry I know this sounds a bit like spam at the end there but it kind of grinds my gears 🤣 They also do the hundred years war war of the roses the Napoleonic era the empire versus the natives if you enjoy that type of gaming. Good series for a reasonable price. Angrily looking at you games workshop 🤣🤣🤣

It didn’t make sense that some of the names would be followed by “Wales/Welsh” while others with same name weren’t. I believe those are abbreviations for their ranks in the New Model Army. “W” is for “Warrant” Officer and in one case, Warrant and Stuart/Stewart. I’m an American who loves history and genealogy. Many of the early Virginia settlers were Evans, Williams, Jones, Smith and Bird/Byrd. Some of my own early colonial ancestors (Paynes) were fleeing from the threats of those wars. (Sadly though, just “out of the frying pan and into the fire”.)

If my genealogical work is correct, Samuel Moore was my 9th great grandfather.

So, the defenders of a fortified place refused a call to surrender, forced the attackers to make a bloody assault, and were then massacred? Pretty standard series of events according to the contemporary rules of war.

About the massacre: Afaik, sieges were a) more common than field battles, and b) extremjely uncomfortable for both sides. Usually, sieges were set for a limited time, as long as the attackers reckoned they could hold on to their effort, which gave the defenders time to wait for relieving efforts by allies. Now this garrison was a hopeless case, and in many other cases, things only got really nasty once the defenders refused to surrender in a hopeless situation. Attackers usually sought revenge for the pointless sacrifices and losses that were caused by stubborn defenders. Massacres and looting, also in mecieval times, were commited usually after storming a position that did not surrender in time. So it makes sense somehow that the defenders were killed wholesale, it actually follows the rules of war of the period.

Fascinating! Thank you for the information! That really does explain a lot. As the time team mentioned the parliamentarians here were just surrounded by royalists. There weren't any parliamentarians who were coming to rescue them.
