里士满城堡的传说

 里士满城堡的传说

Paul King

里士满城堡位于北约克郡斯维尔河上的悬崖上,由红衣人艾伦在11世纪末诺曼征服后建造,是英国最好的诺曼城堡之一。 事实上,英格兰只有另外两座石头建造的城堡与里士满一样古老:科尔切斯特和杜伦的城堡。

里士满城堡由英国遗产组织维护,是一个很受欢迎的旅游目的地。 从12世纪的堡垒顶部可以看到里士满和约克郡山谷的美景,该堡垒是在原来11世纪的门楼上建造的。 斯科兰厅以城堡的一位警员命名,是诺曼底大殿的一个很好的例子。

里士满城堡也是与亚瑟王和他的骑士有关的地方之一。 根据传说,城堡建在一个山洞上,亚瑟王和他的骑士们正在山洞里睡觉,等待着从沉睡中醒来,在英国需要的时候保卫她。 *

据说,一个叫彼得-汤普森的当地陶工在外出散步时,偶然发现了这个洞穴。 在那里,他看到亚瑟王的号角和他的剑Excalibur躺在一个雕刻精美的墓穴上面。 彼得很感兴趣,拿起了剑。 他立刻被周围雷鸣般的盔甲声震耳欲聋,慢慢地,墓穴开始打开。 他吓坏了,立即换上了剑,瞬间,噪音停止了,一切都静止了。

当他逃出山洞,因恐惧而半疯狂时,彼得听到一个声音说:

"波特-汤普森,波特-汤普森

如果你吹响了号角

你曾是最伟大的人

那个曾经出生的人。"

他停下脚步,只是为了堵住入口,以免其他人撞见这些沉睡的骑士。
