What changes were made to carisbrooke castle by the spanish armada and why did the changes happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.225.190 (talkcontribs)

During Elizabethan times the threat of a Spanish invasion was avoided when the Spanish Armada was turned away at a nearby battle. However, the castle was considerably altered to resist the new artillery. Outer lines of defence were built enclosing the old castle. The curtain walls, bastions, and bulwarks remain in good condition to this day.

Apparently, the castle people decided they didn't want to take any chances with the Spanish Armada, so they invested in some upgrades. --Isis(talk) 22:31, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
