Weoley: The Story of a Castle and Its People

'Weoley' is the story of a place. It is a place won by the sword in a bloody battle that changed England's history, a place that evolves over nine hundred turbulent years. Its story is full of heroes and villains; the good, the bad, the beautiful, the wicked and the ordinary. Peasants and their lords, nobles, commoners and kings; Theirs are stories of seduction and romance, of adultery, forgiveness and passionate love that defies understanding. Bloody battles pit brother against brother, fortunes are made, and lost, while unfaithful wives and political intrigue stir the mix, all of it set against the background of a great fortress. The people change with time, they change the place where they live and yet are changed by it. They exist for a brief span and then they are gone, mere players on the stage that is Weoley.
