A change in the guard at PennyPack Castle prompts this quick grab
of a forgotton era ... the forgotten guard waits to be found.
Papyrus & ink only but bring a scribe just in case.
CASTLE-GUARD, an arrangement under the feudal system, by which the
duty of finding knights to guard royal castles was imposed on
certain baronies, and divided among their knights fees. The greater
barons provided for the guard of their castles by exacting a
similar duty from their knights. In both cases the obligation was
commuted very early for a fixed money payment, which, as
castle-guard rent lasted on to modern times.
Thus for two centuries after the Norman Conquest castles had proved
of primary consequence in English political struggles, revolts and
warfare. And, although, when the country was again torn by civil
strife, their military importance was of small account, the crowns
historic jealousy of private fortification was still seen in the
need to obtain the kings licence to crenellate (i.e. embattle) the
country mansion.
But this however is just a forgotten guard with a cache to seek the
favor of the cache-king ... be the cache-king, find the forgotten
guard and bring it to loggable status.
Okay, so there is no castle and the guard is well, uh you will see.
Thanks.
I love it when a cache comes together, Strike
Anywhere!
