Bibliography & Sources

Where I Looked, and Who I Trusted

I consulted the following sources while researching this project. Where accounts disagreed, I used the most widely supported version. The Castle has been written about for more than 350 years - I have tried to find the sources that told the fullest and most honest version of its history.
