entrusting the castle to thirty knights and seventy soldiers. But
Maid Marion is ill; she remains behind, only to notify Arnold de
Lys that he will find a silken cord from one of the castle windows
and that she will draw up a ladder for him to enter her chamber. He
hastens to comply and brings at his back an hundred men-at-arms, who
slay the sleeping knights and soldiers of the garrison in their beds.
And Marion, when she learns of the tragedy the next morning, snatches
her recreant lover's sword, thrusts him through the body and in her
disappointment and despair hurls herself from the window upon the cruel
rocks far beneath.
When Joce and Fulke heard the astounding news, they hastened back to
Ludlow and with a force of seven thousand men besieged DeLacy, who
was strongly entrenched in the castle. Joce pressed the siege with
great vigor, burning the great gate and making a breach in the outer
walls; and DeLacy, as a last resort, called upon the Welsh chieftains
for assistance. These outlawed gentry were never known to let the
opportunity for a fight go begging, and responded with twenty thousand
men, forcing Joce to appeal to King Henry. The king, who was especially
friendly to Joce, sent peremptory orders to DeLacy to evacuate the
castle forthwith, which he did.

But we will follow the traditions of the castle no farther. The
incident related shows its wealth of romantic associations. Its sober
history is no less full of interesting vicissitudes. It figured
largely in the wars of the Roses; it was for many years the home of
Prince Arthur, eldest son of Henry VII., and his early death placed
the irrepressible Henry VIII. on the throne. For nearly two hundred
years the castle was the seat of the Lord President of the Marches,
and Ludlow was in a certain sense the capital of the border counties.
In Elizabeth's time Sir Henry Sidney of Penshurst, father of the more
famous Sir Philip, was Lord President, serving for twenty-seven years;
yet he suffered from the neglect that the queen so often showed to her
most faithful subjects, and near the close of his life he pathetically
writes:
"The Queen will not be moved to reward me. I have not now so much
ground as will feed one mutton. My lady is gone with smallpox which
she got by continually nursing her Majesty in that sickness. I am now
fifty-four years of age, toothless and trembling, five thousand pounds
in debt and thirty thousand pounds worse than at the death of my dear
King and master, Edward VI."
Sixty years later the Parliamentary cannon planted on Whitcliff, just
opposite, brought the active history of Ludlow Castle to an end. In
1651 it was finally dismantled; the lead and timbers were stripped
from the roof, the mantels and furnishings were sold and the fine old
structure given over to unhindered decay for nearly two hundred years.

The fortunes of Ludlow have been closely intertwined with those of the
castle. Since the fall of the fortress, little has happened to disturb
the serenity and quietude of the town. It is prosperous today in a
quiet way as a country market, and though it has many visitors, it has
in no sense, as yet, become a tourist resort. One will find many fine
buildings, odd nooks and corners, and very quaint streets, all quite
devoid of any taint of modernity. The town is deservedly proud of its
parish church--as fine, perhaps, as any in England. It occupies the
opposite end of the high rock on which the castle sits and, after the
castle, is easily the glory of Ludlow. It is built of red sandstone,
time-stained to a dull brown, touched in places with silver gray; the
shape is cruciform and the splendid square tower with its pinnacled
corners forms a landmark for many miles from the surrounding country.
It was originally built about 1200, on the site of an earlier church,
though of course the present almost perfect structure is the result of
thorough restoration. The windows are unusually good, though modern,
and the tower was rebuilt and fitted with the fine mechanical peal of
bells that ring six times daily with a different refrain for each day
of the week. The tombs and monuments are numerous, but mostly those of
old-time border dignitaries.
We found much pleasure in wandering about the town on the morning of
our last visit. The commodious market-house was filled with farmers
and their wives from the country, who offered their products for sale,
and as we mingled with them we heard nothing spoken but English. Down
toward the castle a curiosity shop attracted our attention; a brick and
timber house which was crammed to the very garret with antique arms,
armor, jewelry, china, glass, ivory, furniture, brass--but we might
not enumerate its contents in pages. Nor was this all, for at a short
distance an old Norman chapel had been leased by the proprietor and it,
too, was filled to overflowing with ancient things of all degrees, from
a spoon or cup to a massive carved-oak bed worth two hundred pounds.
The shop keeper, a benevolent-looking, gray-bearded old gentleman, is
an authority on antiques and shows us many curios of astonishing value.
But his daughter is more shrewd at business. No effort is made to sell
us anything--only to interest us--and the apparent honesty of the shop
people spoils many a deal. I am desirous of some souvenir of Ludlow,
something distinctly suggestive of the place; an old sword, or pistol
or what not, that might possibly--I ask no more than possibly--have
been used in the frays that once raged round the castle. There are
ancient swords and pistols galore; but they are French rapiers or
Scotch claymores, and though I eagerly seek for a mere suggestion that
one of them might possibly have come from Ludlow, I am told that it
could hardly be; such treasures have been picked up long ago and should
one be found it would command a large price. It is a disappointment,
but it gives us confidence in the purchases we finally make--so many,
in fact, that our ready cash is quite exhausted; but such a trifling
matter is of no consequence--we are perfectly welcome to take the goods
and send the money when we reach London.
"We have done considerable business with Americans," says the young
woman. "Were you ever at Mount Vernon?--of course you have been. We
supplied the antiques used in furnishing Washington's kitchen there.
One of the ladies of the committee happened to visit Ludlow and gave us
the order."
Before we finally leave the old town which has charmed us so much, we
cannot forbear a last look at the castle, whose gray walls are flaunted
by the noonday sun. We enter the wide grass-grown court; it is quite
deserted and we make a farewell round of the lordly though ruinous
apartments. It is the day of all days for a view from the battlements
of the keep, over which flies the red and white banner of St. George.
We climb the shattered and somewhat precarious stairs and behold the
pleasant vale of the Teme, lying far beneath, every feature clear
and distinct in the lucent, untainted summer day. The verdant valley,
with its silvery river, its fine parks, its mansions, farmhouses,
towns and villages, and the far blue outlines of the Welsh hills, make
a scene quite too enchanting for any words of mine to describe. The
town just outside the castle walls lies slumberously below the church
tower, upon which the great clock points to the hour of twelve; the
bells peal forth the melody that finds a response always and in every
heart,--doubly so in that of the exiled wanderer--"Home Sweet Home,"
and which never seemed to us so strong in its appeal, for we are to
sail within the week.
