Kenilworth Castle.
Kenilworth Castle er et slot i byen Kenilworth i Warwickshire i England . Det blev opført og udbygget fra den normanniske erobring af England til tudortiden og er beskrevet som det "bedste bevarede eksempel på et semi-royalt slot fra senmiddelalderen i udstrækning, form og kvalitet".[ 1] Kenilworth Castle har spillet en vigtig historisk rolle: I 1266 var det udsat for en seks måneder lang belejring . Det er sandsynligvis den længste belejring i Englands historie . Det var base for Huset Lancaster under rosekrigene . På Kenilworth blev Edvard 2. fjernet fra tronen, franskmændene i 1414 fornærmerede Henrik 5. (hvilket ifølge John Strecche var med til at udløse slaget ved Agincourt ) og hvor jarlen af Leicesters modtog Elizabeth 1. overstrømmende i 1575.
Borgen blev grundlagt i 1120'erne omkring et normannisk keep , og den blev udvidet markant af kong John i begyndelsen af 1200-tallet. Der blev etableret store forsvarsværker med voldgrave ved inddæmning af vandløb. Det gjorde, at fæstningen kunne modstå angreb fra land og vand i 1266. Johan af Gent brugte formuer på at forbedre fæstningen i slutningen af 1300-tallet , hvor han omdannede middelalderborgen til et befæstet slot i gotisk stil . Jarlen af Leicester udvidede slottet i Tudorstil og brugte det middelalderlige grundlag til et fashionabelt renæssance palads .
Kenilworth blev ødelagt af rundhovederne i 1649 under den engelske borgerkrig . Kun to af bygningerne var nu beboelige. Slottet blev en turistattraktion fra 1700-tallet, og i viktoriatiden blev det berømte pga. Walter Scotts roman Kenilworth fra 1826. English Heritage har drevet slottet siden 1984. Slottet er en listed building af første grad og et Scheduled monument . Det er åbent for publikum.
