More about this scene

Magnus Barefoot built a timber fort on St Patrick's Isle between c1098-1103. The bulk of the surviving fortifications date from the time of Thomas, First Earl of Derby, and were constructed between 1460-1504 as a defence against Scottish raiders. The tower in the centre of the picture overlooks the causeway linking the islet with the town, and was probably built by Sir William le Scrope in the 1390s.
