Castle-guard

Castle-guard was an arrangement under the

knight's fees or baronies. The greater barons provided for the guard of their castles by exacting a similar duty from their sub-enfeoffed knights. The obligation was commuted very early for a fixed money payment, a form of scutage known as "castle-guard rent", which lasted into modern times.^[1]^[2]

Castle-guard was a common form of

Carisbrook Castle.^{[citation needed}
