Barony of Longtown

Ewias Lacy continues the story of the barony of Longtown, covering the later history of the owning families of Geneville, Verdun, Furnival and Berghersh down to the castle's last defensive mention in 1403.

In depth examination of castles

The division of the barony is examined in detail and the power politics of late thirteenth century England explored. This is followed by an in depth examination of the castles of Walterstone, Rowlestone, Llancillo and Howton in Ewias commote which were in their time subsidiary to Longtown.
