More about this scene

This castle, since demolished, sits on Queen Eleanor's Bower. Legend says that she watched her husband win the Battle of Shrewsbury from here in 1403. Henry IV won that battle. He was married twice, but neither lady was called Eleanor. As is the way with legends, one story has obviously become muddled with another.
