		In 547 AD, the Anglo-Saxon king Ida was using it as his power base and by the seventh century, the Christian King Oswald endowed a monastery on nearby Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and brought a new centre of religion and learning to Northumberland.
		Through the centuries, Bamburgh has expanded and been modified to suit the requirements of the owners, and it has been visited by kings (Edward I, II and III, John and Henry III) and imprisoned the once powerful (Piers de Gaveston and Robert the Bruce among them).
		Bamburgh's most enduring history has always been in defence and so it is fitting that the castle we see today covers the last thousand years of military might in the North of England.

	Bamburgh Castle \| King Arthur & The Knights of the Round Table (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This is the probable site of Sir Lancelot's famous castle of Joyous Garde, where he once gave refuge to Tristan and Iseult, and where he himself retired to escape the rumours of his liaison with Arthur's Queen.
		In 547 it became the capital of the Northumbrian 'Kingdom' of the Angles who had settled there in the early part of the sixth century; as such, it would have been a stronghold of the Saxon alliance, who were Arthur's prime enemies in his fight to maintain British rule.
		At the time, the site was not called Bamburgh, but seems to have been named 'Din Guayrdi', which may have suggested Joyous Garde to Sir Thomas Malory, who first described it as Lancelot's holding in his fifteenth-century Arthurian 'novel', Le Morte d'Arthur.
