History
Windsor is first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a collection of Annals in Old English chronicling the history of the Anglo-Saxons. The name originates from old English Windles-ore, or 'winch by the riverside',[2][3] a royal settlement, now called Old Windsor, located about three miles from the modern town. Old Windsor is a large Village in the English county of Berkshire. Some time after 1086, probably in the reign of King Henry I, the royal household relocated three miles up-stream to the recently built timber motte and bailey castle in the manor of Clewer (noted in the Domesday Book as 'Windsor Castle'). Henry I (c 1068/1069 – 1 December 1135) was the fourth son of William I the Conqueror, the first King of England after the Norman nA motte-and-bailey is a form of Castle.

The White Ship (or its real name la Blanche-Nef) a twelfth-century vessel sank in the English Channel near the Normandy coast off Barfleur The settlement at Old Windsor largely transferred to this 'New' Windsor during the 12th century, although susbstantial planning and setting out of the new town (including the parish church, marketplace, bridge and leper hospital) did not take place until c.

The Anarchy or The Nineteen Year Winter refers to a period of English history during the reign ( 1135 &ndash 1154) of the Norman King Stephen often referred to in history as Stephen of Blois (c 1096 &ndash 25 October, 1154) was the last Norman King of England At about the same time, the present upper ward of the castle was rebuilt in stone. Windsor bridge is the earliest bridge on the Thames between Staines and Reading, when bridge building was not common. It played an important part in the national road system, and by diverting traffic into the new town, underpinned its success.
The town of New Windsor, as ancient demesne of the Crown, was a privileged settlement from the start, apparently having the rights of a 'free borough' for which other towns had to pay susbtantial fees to the king. It had a merchant guild from the early 13th century and, under royal patronage, was made the chief town of the county by late the same century. Windsor was granted royal borough status by Edward I's charter of 1277 which gave no new rights or privileges to Windsor but, as one historian puts it, "recognised [Windsor's] existence and gave it a legal status as a borough". Edward I (17 June 1239 – 7 July 1307 popularly known as Longshanks, was a King of England who achieved historical fame by conquering large parts of Wales and almost A charter is the grant of authority or rights stating that the granter formally recognizes the prerogative of the recipient to exercise the rights specified [4]
New Windsor was a nationally significant town in the Middle Ages, certainly one of the fifty wealthiest towns in the country by 1332. Its prosperity came from its close association with the royal household. The repeated investment in the castle brought London merchants (goldsmiths, vintners, spicers and mercers) to the town & provided much employment for townsmen. The development of the castle under Edward III (1350-68), for example, was the largest secular building project in England of the Middle Ages and many Windsor people worked in the castle on this building project. Henry III, a hundred years earlier, spent more on Windsor Castle than any other royal building project, save the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey. Henry III (1 October 1207 &ndash 16 November 1272 was the son and successor of John "Lackland" as King of England, reigning for fifty-six years from 1216 The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to by its original name of Westminster Abbey, is a large mainly Gothic church The Black Death in 1348, although reducing some town's population by up to 50%, seems to have had less of an impact in Windsor. Possibly 30% of the town's population died, but the building projects of Edward III brought many building workers to the town, possibly doubling the population: the Black Death, and the plagues that followed in 1361 - 72, were a 'boom' time for the local economy. New people came to the town from every part of the country, and from continental Europe, to benefit from royal expenditure at the castle. The poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, worked at Windsor Castle as 'Clerk of the Works' in 1391. Geoffrey Chaucer (c 1343 – 25 October 1400? was an English author poet Philosopher, bureaucrat, courtier and Diplomat.
The development of the castle continued in the 15th century. Windsor became a major pilgrimage destination, particularly for Londoners. In Religion and Spirituality, a pilgrimage is a long journey or Search of great Moral significance Pilgrims came to touch the royal shrine of the murdered Henry VI and the fragment of the True Cross in the new St George's Chapel (1480) and visit the same king's college dedicated the Virgin (1440) at Eton (now Eton College). A pilgrim is one who undertakes a Pilgrimage, literally 'far afield' A shrine, from the Latin scrinium (‘box’ also used as a desk like the French bureau) was originally a container usually made of precious materials used Henry VI (6 December 1421 &ndash 21 May 1471 was King of England 1422–1461 (though with a Regent until 1437 and then 1470–1471 and a claimant to the kingdom The True Cross is the name for physical remnants which by a Christian tradition are believed to be from the actual cross upon which Jesus was crucified Eton is a Town in Berkshire, England, lying on the opposite bank of the River Thames to Windsor and connected to it by Windsor Eton College, or just Eton, is a world-famous British Independent school for boys founded in 1440 by King Henry VI. Pilgrims came with substantial sums to spend. There were over twenty-nine inns in Windsor to provide accommodation, some very large. The town became very prosperous. For London pilgrims, Windsor was probably second in importance only to Canterbury and the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket. For London as a whole see the main article London. The City of London is a geographically Canterbury ( ˈkæntəbɹ̩i is a City in eastern Kent in the South East region of England. St Thomas Becket (c 1118 &ndash December 29, 1170) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to 1170 Henry VIII was buried in St George's (1547), next to the body of Jane Seymour the mother of his only legitimate son, Edward (later Edward VI). Henry VIII (28 June 1491 &ndash 28 January 1547 was King of England and Lord of Ireland, later King of Ireland and claimant to the Kingdom of Edward VI (12 October 1537 &ndash 6 July 1553 became King of England and Ireland on 28 January 1547 and was crowned on 20 February at the age of nine Henry, the inventor of the Church of England, may have wanted to benefit from the stream of Catholic pilgrims coming to the town. The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican His will gives that impression.
Tudor and Stuart periods
The town began to stagnate about ten years after the Reformation. The Protestant Reformation was a reform movement in Europe that began in 1517 though its roots lie further back in time The castle was considered old fashioned and shrines to the dead thought 'superstitious'. The early modern period formed a stark contrast to the medieval history of the town. The early modern period is a term used by historians to refer to the period in Western '''Europe''' and its first colonies which spans the three centuries between Most accounts of Windsor in the 16th and 17th century talk of its poverty, badly made streets and poor housing. As a means of recording the passage of Time, the 17th Century was that Century which lasted from 1601 - 1700 in the Gregorian calendar Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor is set in Windsor and contains many references to parts of the town and the surrounding countryside. William Shakespeare ( baptised The Merry Wives of Windsor is a Comedy by William Shakespeare, first published in 1602, though believed to have been written prior to 1597 Shakespeare must have walked the town's streets, near the castle and river, much as people still do. The play may have been written in the Garter Inn, although this was certainly not part of the modern Harte and Garter Hotel opposite the castle. Windsor was the home of the New Model Army and the castle was garrisoned by Colonel Venn during the English Civil War. The New Model Army was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War. The English Civil War (1642-1651 was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists. Despite its royal dependence, like many commercial centres, Windsor was a Parliamentarian town. " Roundheads " was the Nickname given to the Puritan supporters of Parliament during the English Civil War. Charles I was buried without ceremony in St George's after his execution at Whitehall in 1649. Charles I, (19 November 1600 &ndash 30 January 1649 was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution. Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the Killing of a person by judicial process as Punishment. The Palace of Whitehall was the main residence of the English monarchs in London from 1530 until 1698 when all except Inigo Jones 's 1622 The present Guildhall, built in 1680, replaced an earlier market hall, that had been built on the same site in c. The Guildhall in Windsor Berkshire, England, is the town hall 1580, as well as the old guildhall, which faced the castle and had been built in c. 1370. The contraction in the number of public buildings speaks of a town in decline.

Later periods
The development of the majority of the present streets in the town dates from the mid-19th century. [5] However, the main street, Peascod Street (pronounced Pes-cod Street) is very ancient. It predates the castle by many years, certainly it formed part of the tenth century parish structure in east Berkshire. By this measure, the thousand year old royal castle, although the largest and longest occupied in Europe, is a relatively recent development. The early history of the site on which the town is now built, and for the period before the building of the castle, is unknown, although the site was almost certainly settled. Histories of the town note that the combination of the navigable river and the strategically-placed hill point to the likelihood of continuous human settlement from the earliest times. Evidence includes archaeological finds from Windsor, such as paleolithic hand-axes, neolithic flint picks, Bronze Age swords and an Iron Age brooch. Although Roman remains are few, there is ample evidence of Saxon settlement in the area. [4] 'New Windsor' was officially renamed 'Windsor' in 1974 but as with many things 'New' in England, they are often very 'Old': Windlesore being a case in point. Year 1974 ( MCMLXXIV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the 1974 Gregorian calendar.
