The Ruins Of Pontefract Castle
Pontefract Castle's former glory can be seen in the seventeenth century painting that frames this film. The Parliamentarian leader, Oliver Cromwell, considered it to be 'one of the strongest inland garrisons in the kingdom'. At Cromwell's behest, after the second English civil war, the castle was ruined. Cromwell was afraid that the stronghold might once again fall into his opponents' hands. The local populace approved of the destruction - they considered the castle to be a magnet for trouble.
Because of its association with death, the castle earned the town of Pontefract the nickname 'Bloody Pomfret'. Shakespeare alludes to this in his play, Richard III: Richard II had been slain at the castle.
Pomfret, Pomfret! O thou bloody prison,
Fatal and ominous to noble peers!
Within the guilty closure of thy walls
Richard the second here was hack'd to death;
And for more slander to thy dismal seat,
We give thee up our guiltless blood to drink.
