The Siege of Bamburgh Castle

'... alle the Kinges greet gonnes that were charged at oons to shute unto the said Castelle, Newe-Castel the Kinges greet gonne, and London the second gonne of irne; the which betide the place, that stones of the walles flewe unto the see...' Warkworth's Chronicle

The Siege of Bamburgh Castle, 1464 - Print from a painting by Graham Turner

The Siege of Bamburgh Castle Ref: Gic-G344

The battle for control of the mighty fortresses of Northumberland had seen them change hands repeatedly in the early 1460s, but by June 1464 Bamburgh was the last to remain holding out for Henry VI. Terms for the defenders' surrender were delivered by the earl of Warwick's herald; when these were rejected, King Edward's siege artillery was brought into action, causing considerable damage as the great guns pounded the walls. From behind the siege-lines, Warwick's herald witnesses the power of this formidable bombardment as one of Bamburgh's towers comes crashing down.

The Wars of the Roses

The period of civil strife in the second half of the 15th century now known as the Wars of the Roses was one of the most dramatic and turbulent in English history. Since first being inspired by a visit to Bosworth battlefield nearly 30 years ago, Graham Turner has immersed himself in the period to create a unique and comprehensive series of meticulously researched paintings that bring to life this colourful but unsettled chapter in our past and our ancestors who lived their lives through it.
