Katharine was almost certainly arrested at Raglan Castle immediately after the Battle of Stoke Field in June 1487 and John was executed in 1491, both on the orders of Henry VII.

For example, one of the " hints " that Raglan James leaves Lestat is a copy of H. P. Lovecraft's short story, The Thing on the Doorstep.

Lord Raglan had wanted a better view of the proceedings and followed by his staff had ridden past the French skirmishers on the left of Prince Napoleon's division and through the Russian skirmishers facing them.

While the allies could have taken this opportunity to attack Sevastopol before it could be put into a proper state of defence, the allied commanders, British general Lord Raglan and the French commander Canrobert could not agree on a plan of attack.

Cardigan's commanding officer, Lord Lucan, had been recalled in disgrace — largely brought about by the determination of the commander-in-chief, Lord Raglan, to displace blame from himself — and arrived in England only two weeks after his subordinate but, as the officer who had " looked on " ( a pun on his name much exploited by Cardigan ) while the charge had taken place, little regard was given to his version of events.

The British, under the command of Lord Raglan, and the French, under Canrobert, positioned their troops to the south of the port on the Chersonese Peninsula: the French Army occupied Kamiesh on the west coast whilst the British moved to the southern port of Balaclava.

Raglan was inclined to agree, arguing that he had always been disposed to such an operation ; he knew, too, that the problem of re-supply would be eased with the seizing of the southern ports on the Chersonese Peninsula.

At one point, on 25 September near MacKenzie's Farm, Raglan and his staff in front of the British column stumbled across the rear of the retreating Russians ; with the rest of his army strung out behind in hopeless disorder, Menshikov missed a chance to inflict a major reverse on the British.

By the 26th, however, Raglan had reached the village of Kadikoi, and was able to look down on the narrow inlet of Balaclava.

" I am sure I could walk into it, with scarcely the loss of a man ," wrote Cathcart to Raglan on 28 September from the heights above the eastern approach to the city.

In addition to these defences Raglan could call upon the 1, 500 men of Lord Lucan's Cavalry Division camped on the western end of the South Valley, along with a troop of Royal Horse Artillery.

After a considerable number of false alarms the previous week, however, Raglan failed to act, believing that they were needlessly exhausting his men who were turned out on every report.

Raglan, meanwhile, had taken up his position on the Sapouné Heights, 650 feet (~ 200 m ) above the plain.

Lucan believed he had complied with the order as far as he could until the infantry arrived, but Raglan looked on with growing impatience at his immobile cavalry.

Lord Raglan wishes the cavalry to advance rapidly to the front – follow the enemy and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns – Troop Horse Artillery may accompany – French cavalry is on your left.

Raglan is a small beachside town located 48 km west of Hamilton, New Zealand on State Highway 23.

Raglan is associated with Whaingaroa Harbour ( also known as Raglan Harbour ) on the west coast of the Waikato region in New Zealand's North Island.

Local art is on display in the Show Off Gallery, Kanuka Design, Matapihi Gallery, local cafes and the Raglan Old School Arts Centre.

There is a regular market on the second Sunday of every month at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street.

The main venue in Raglan for live music is the Yot Club, a regular stop for NZ musician's on national tours.

Raglan was anxious to exploit Scarlett's success and drive the Russians off the Causeway Heights, but Cathcart's and Cambridge's infantry divisions had still not arrived ; every minute that passed gave the Russians more time to prepare their defences for the expected British counter-attack.

Raglan could not now risk using his infantry divisions in any attempt to move Liprandi's forces from the Causeway Heights.

Lestat doesn't bother re-reading the short story ; if he had, he might have anticipated Raglan James ' final trick.

The ridge Lord Raglan had so dramatically made his own was now swarming with red-coated troops.

The Russian retreat became a rout and Lord Raglan sought permission to pursue the Russians, but General St. Arnaud decided this was impossible for his French troops had left their packs at their start points across the river and would have to go back for them before further advances.

In these circumstances the word of an officer regarding his fitness to serve would normally be accepted, but Raglan permitted his departure only after a medical board had confirmed his claimed disability.

However, this position committed the British to the defence of the right flank of the Allied siege operations, for which Raglan had insufficient troops.

When Raglan told Cathcart that nothing would happen until the Allied siege trains had been landed, Cathcart could not hide his irritation, " Land the siege trains!

Canrobert had been informed of the Russian attack at about 07: 30, and had immediately ridden off to join Raglan.

Raglan had at first thought the Russian advance a feint, possibly designed to occupy him whilst the enemy stormed out of Sevastopol to attack his army overlooking the heights above the city ; but now he saw that he had been wrong.

Unwilling at this point to risk his cavalry without infantry support ( as he had done throughout the whole campaign ), Raglan issued his first order to the Cavalry Division at 08: 00 – " Cavalry to take ground to the left of the second line of redoubts occupied by the Turks ".

Raglan wished his cavalry to advance immediately, but the ambiguity of the order had again resulted in a misunderstanding.

" But as they thought over what had occurred, the recriminations between Raglan, Lucan, and Cardigan had already begun.

Disagreements with the British commander-in-chief, Lord Raglan, and in general, the disappointments due to the prolongation of the siege of Sevastopol led to his resignation of the command, but he did not return to France, preferring to serve as chief of his old division almost up to the fall of Sevastopol.

It was mainly by Lord Clarendon at Whitehall and by Lord Raglan before Sevastopol that such a combination was rendered practicable, and did eventually triumph over the enemy.

William Somerset died at his house Hackney on 21 February 1589 and was buried in the Church of St Cadoc, Raglan, Monmouthshire.

Following the Norman invasion of Wales, the area around the village of Raglan was granted to William FitzOsbern, the Earl of Hereford.

The current Raglan Castle was begun by Sir William ap Thomas, the lesser son of a minor Welsh family who rose through the ranks of mid-15th century politics, profiting from the benefits of the local offices he held.

In 1432 William purchased the manor of Raglan, where he had already been staying as a tenant, for 1, 000 marks (£ 666 ) and commenced a programme of building work that established the basic shape of the castle as seen today, although most of it — with the exception of the South Gate and the Great Tower — was later built over.

In the 1460s William used his increasing wealth to remodel Raglan on a much grander scale.

In 1879, the family moved to Raglan Street, then later to Upper Lewis Street, from where William attended Temple School.

Her second was to Sir William ap Thomas of Raglan Castle who survived the battle.
