Update! Lord Michael's Walkthroughs for 
Larnaca Castle was originally used to defend the Turkish harbour at Larnaca and was later used as a prison, a German outpost in Wolrd War I and even the British Administration. It now lies in the Greek half of Cyprus but is still surrounded by many Turkish buildings including the nearby mosque. Our tour of the castle will show you all the main features and also contains several exclusive videos for you to download.
The Crac des Chevaliers (an Arabic/French combination meaning "Castle of the Knights") was built at Qal'at al-Hisn by the Knights of St. John, who occupied it from 1142 until 1271 when it fell to the great Mamluk leader Sultan Baybars. At it's peak, the garrison at the Crac consisted of over 2000 men and it's extensive underground storerooms could have held provision enough for very long sieges.
Earl Roger de Montgomery founded the first castle at Arundel on Christmas Day 1067. It was after King William had held his Christmas Court at Gloucester and awarded Montgomery the Earldom, that he ordered him to build a castle on the river Arun to protect the inland reaches.
