After his marriage King Henry V went on a Royal Progress with his Queen Katherine. It is recorded that he visited 'his delightful (dilectum) Castle of Kenilworth and his Manor of Plesantmaris which he himself constructed in Marshland'.
This book examines the Romance of Kenilworth Castle engendered by the King and a succession of Noble owners, from John of Gaunt to Robert Dudley, who turned it into a magnificent Palace for his wooing of Queen Elizabeth. It extends the Romance of Kenilworth to its ruined abbey, to Sir Walter Scott and to visitors up to the present day. It describes the reasons for King Henry's delight, the Pleasance, the events of Queen Elizabeth's visit and the beautiful Garden created for her, and its re-creation today.
