Edward Dalyngrigge made money as a mercenary soldier, fighting endlessly against France, then married Elizabeth, the heiress of the Wardedieu, to build a castle to defend against invasion looking fabulous (oh, and build a wharf on the river Rother to benefit from the trade). It looks fabulous to this day but has defended only right and privilege.
Bodiam Castle
perpendicular-only
view of the world
through metre-age
of sandstone, so I
looked straight up
the chimney where
perpetual fires no
longer burned and
saw transluscent leaf
lean against blue sky
We live in a much more settled world now, comfortable by our ruined castles and retired landscapes. The nearest incursions are on the beaches of Tunisia, although there is worry at the port of Calais.
