Elizabeth de Burgh was a formidable lady who owned a castle at Clare in Suffolk as well as Usk Castle, which passed to her when Gilbert de Clare was killed at Bannockburn in 1314. During her tenure, Usk Castle became a more comfortable place to live, with the addition of a new Solar and Chamber Towers.

There is an astonishing record of the Christmas Feast she gave in 1326. This is the 'Banquet' which features in our son et lumiere production.
