Happy Easter, everyone! As I'm fairly busy at the moment with family visits, writing, work, Easter etc, here's a quick post with some Edward II-related photos till I get round to writing a proper post sometime next week. ;-)

| Inside Caernarfon Castle, looking towards the Eagle Tower (with flags), traditionally Edward's birthplace. |

| Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire (1132-1538), where Edward was almost captured by a Scottish force in October 1322. |

| Ludlow Castle, Shropshire, which belonged to Roger Mortimer. |

| Part of the ruins of Knaresborough Castle, Yorkshire, which Edward granted to Piers Gaveston. |
