The Henry is the protagonist of a play by Pirandello, which should make it easier.

This one will probably be easy, but I wanted to do the event and couldn't find a more obscure picture that still gave enough information to get it.

If I was really good, I'd get the artist too.


Looks like it might be Bouguereau, but I'm not sure.
I like the background, reminscent of Constable.


Anyway- this place is associated with two murdered monarchs, one ill starred monarch liked staying here, and another one gave it as a gift to a courtier.

It also endured two sieges, only giving in during the second one, its commander being another formidable woman.


Your questions gentlemen and ladies are:

name the castle

name the department/area/county it's in

name one of the murdered kings (one was killed there, one was held there, then taken and murdered elsewhere) and name the monarch who gave it as a gift to a courtier.

Your bonus round is to name the war in which it was besieged twice.

It kind of looks like a later era castle, but I don't know for sure.

Well it's an English castle.



One of the kings sounds like he might have something do to with a polka, a red hot polka.


One of the monarchs had a father who was much married.

And the war, despite its name, was anything but.

Well the murdered King would be Edward II.

The castle is Berkely Castle.

It's in Gloucestershire.

It fell in the Civil War.

It was given to Francis Drake, so it was given by Elizibeth I.

Well, you're right in that it's in the south of the British Isles.


More Thomas Hardy country than Daphne du Maurier.


Not the Wars of the Roses, though.
