Cotswold Collection / A Jester or Fool from the re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury (1471) – possibly the bloodiest and most vindictive of battles in the War of the Roses. The battle is re-enacted each summer (July) on what remains of the actual battle ground close to Tewkesbury Abbey. The Court Jester could get away with impudence at court that would have others executed or at least imprisoned. Jesters were usually very clever people from lowly backgrounds who acted as advisors to the King / Lord etc by phrasing criticism in a silly, humorous or ironic way so as not to cause direct offence: their advice was generally take into consideration. As such they carried some authority.

A square format crop of an earlier picture of the magnificent mediaeval city of Carcassonne.

The City of Carcassonne is primarily known as a fortified medieval city, but this rocky spur has been inhabited for much longer. The Gauls had created a town in the 6th century B.C. which in Roman times became an active urban centre. In the 4th century A.D., ramparts were built, remnants of which are still visible along two-thirds of the inner wall. / It was on the west side of this primitive fortification that the château was built in the 12th century by the family of Vicomte Trencavel, before it was enlarged and surrounded by a wall a century later. In the meantime, Carcassonne had been captured by Simon de Montfort during the Crusade against the Albigenses and had become part of the royal domain. Works continued throughout the 13th century. An outside wall was constructed and the inner rampart modernised to make the site which had been the key element in the defence of the Franco-Albigense border into a utterly impregnable fortress. It lost all strategic importance, however, after the signature of the Treaty of the Pyrénées in 1659, and became successively an arsenal, an arms depot and a warehouse for foodstuffs under the Ancien Regime and the French Revolution.

The walled mediaeval cite of Carcassonne in the southern Aude district of France is a UNESCO world heritage site. The site has been occupied since the year 333 and parts of the existing cite date back to the 11C. In mediaeval times it was a virtually impregnable fortress besieged many times but fell into disrepair in the 1600s. In the middle of the 19C the French governmment commissioned Vauban to restore it, a massive undertaking. Each of its many towers is unique and there are double ramparts enclosing the inner Castle, the Chateau de Comtal. /
