More about this scene
Originally, this was a priory founded by Edward the Confessor in 1044. When Richard I was away fighting in the Crusades, the mount was seized for John; Richard I subsequently retook it, and stationed a garrison here. The monks were expelled in 1425, and the site became a fortress. The men in the foreground are collecting kelp to use as fertiliser.
