Castles
Kings and Queens always lived in castles. The main part of the castle was the donjon, a huge hall with private rooms for the lords family. The weakest part of the castle was the gate so it was defended by a drawbridge and a small building called a barbican. The attackers would have to capture this before assaulting the castle.
Mary Queen of Scots Poem
Mary was a queen As you have seen
Her birth was great And soon she found a mate
She became Queen of France When she lost her romance
When she returned to homeland By then John Knox had formed a protestant band
He tried to get her of the throneBut Mary was as strong as boneThe axe had used three swings
Until her head and heart stings
