Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materials for the History of Lancaster, Vol. 2 Prominent in the annals of English History stands the name of time-honoured Lancaster, distinguished alike amidst regal pomp and Chivalry, and the sterner realities of war and internecine strife. Few places can boast of a history stretching back so far into the mists of antiquity, and fewer still can claim so close a connection with the Royal Family of England. The primary cause of this was the existence of a beautifully situated and strongly fortified Castle, for, probably, without the protection afforded by it, the town in its early days would have been swept away, owing to its proximity to the Scottish border (which then extended as far south as Kendal), and to its consequent liability to attacks and rapine.
