Ruins of Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, birthplace of Henry IV in 1366 (he was apparently a Pisces). The castle lies on the site of a Saxon fort from the 6/7th century, but the modern structure was built in 1220 by a returning crusader, Ranulf, Earl of Chester, and passed by marriage to the house of Lancaster.

The castle suffered badly in the Civil War, being originally held by Royalists, captured by Roundheads, and recaptured by the Cavaliers, who then abandoned it. Following the war it was put beyond use by demolishing the defences.

It was excavated in the 1960-1970's and is now cared for by Heritage Lincolnshire.

Taken with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens.
