The Castles
The earldom-duchy likewise held Cornwall’s four chief castles – Launceston,
Restormel, Tintagel, and Trematon – with these structures forming a network
of administration, control, and defence. 194 The earl-duke appointed a
constable to each and in the case of Launceston this man generally managed
the gaol, while the constable of Restormel often held Restormel Park.195 All
these castellans received livery robes to the value of 13s. 4d. along with an
annuity, some 20 marks for Launceston but only 50s. 8d. for the others.196
