Talk:Concentric castle

12th century examples?
Can somebody give me a good example of a "late 12th Century" concentric castle? They didn't become popular in britain until the late 13th C. and I don't know of many at all from France. I might have to change that if nobody can refute me. ;) Lordjim13 12:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Dealing with vandalism
I've removed a reference to the "dwarf rebellion," which seems to be some sort of inside joke or fanciful reference. I've also changed the date of introduction from the 14th century to the 13th century, since note 2 cites several dates in the 1200s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.213.180 (talk) 02:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Spanish concentric castles
Hello guys, I would like to suggest that Spanish concentric castles are under-represented in the examples. There are in my view at least 10 Spanish (/Portugese) concentric castles which are in better condition and/or more significant most of the examples given here. I am ignorant of the reason why some bleak, poorly preserved ruin in Wales always has to be given as a good example of a concentric castle, when there are far more and far better preserved equivalents in Spain. Beamaris was not even finished and thus played no significant role in history. It breaks my heart. I will give some Spanish/Portugese examples which I find much more appealing (in some cases even beautiful):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_de_Coca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Castle_of_Manzanares_el_Real

are in particularly good shape.

 * Dont think that this is a conspiracy against Spain/Portugal. The right explanation is probably that there are more UK contributors than Spanish/Portugese. And they upload photos of the castles they saw. If you have significant photos of Spanish/Portugese concentric castles, go ahead, upload them (not too much in the gallery please). --Tangopaso (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
