Bamburgh..A coastal Fortress.. The Normans built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present one. William II unsuccessfully besieged it in 1095 during a revolt supported by its owner, Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumbria. After Robert was captured, his wife continued the defence until coerced to surrender by the king's threat to blind her husband....Bloodthirsty lot us Geordies ....R.

I think I watched that siege on my old b/w telly Count B. I believe it was the BBC network. Nice to see it in color.
Superb angle. Did you get dizzy?
