Excursion to Pembroke Castle

Due to the high winds, the day was better spent on the grounds of Pembroke Castle at the annual Spring Faire. Falconry displays and theater groups brought the extensive history of the English castle alive from King Henry II to a long history of monarchs and others who controlled the castle and surrounding lands. Pictured below are a medieval monk, a swordsman, and a Genoese mercenary with a cross-bow from the 16th century.
