The area where the castle stands was inhabited by people two thousand years ago , but it was not until the fourteenth century when the king decided to build a residence there . The castle Točník was built after the large fire in the castle Žebrák , which showed how unsafe it was for the king and how its position was not strategic . During the Hussite wars , when Václav ' s brother Sigismund was in power , the castle was besieged by the Hussite army for three days , until it gave up and burnt down the towns Točník and Hořovice instead .

In the year 1923 , the castle was sold to the Czech Association of Tourists for 2000 crowns and now it belongs to the state .

Anderitum Anderitum ( also " Anderida " , " Anderidos " ) is a Saxon Shore Fort in the Roman province of Britannia . It is located at in eastern Pevensey in the English county of East Sussex and was later converted into a medieval castle known as Pevensey Castle . Roman fort . It was built by the Romans during a time when Britain was still part of the Roman Empire . Recent dendrochronological dating of wooden foundation piles have dated this to AD 290 . It used to be customary to state that at this time the south and east of the province Britannia were under constant attack from marauding barbarian Jutes and Saxons , but more recent thinking focuses on the internal disputes of the Roman Empire in that period . The south and eastern seaboards of Britannia were collectively known as ' the Saxon Shore ' and several large forts were built along them . The fort was built on what was then peninsula of land rising above the coastal marshes . The sea washed over what is now Pevensey Marshes surrounding Anderida on three sides , so giving a safe and sheltered landing point . This marshy inlet of the sea , extending inland as far as Hailsham , was studded with small areas of high land which remained as islands at high tide so giving the place - names of Rickney , Horse Eye , North Eye and Pevensey . All are derived from the Old English word " īeg " , meaning island . The Roman road leading west away from the fort was built much earlier than the fort itself . There was probably a port already in existence in the area when the fort was built , though this has yet to be found . The fort was repaired , possibly on the instructions of the great Roman General Stilicho , about AD 400 . The massive Roman enceinte still stands but little damaged . Saxon fort . The sub - Roman Brython s apparently occupied the fort in 491 , though whether this was part of a long term residency or a temporary one necessitated by Saxon raids is unclear . The Anglo - Saxon Chronicle records that they were massacred there , at " Andredesceaster " , by King Ælle of Sussex and his son Cissa in that year , leaving none alive . The site was next occupied in 1042 , when the Anglo - Saxon Earl of Wessex , Harold Godwinson ( later King Harold II ) established a strong point here , improving fortifications by digging ditches within the walls of the Roman fort . The English army remained at the fort during the summer of 1066 before abandoning it to meet the invading Norwegians further north . Later castle . After the Saxon defeat at the Battle of Hastings , the Normans briefly used the fort as a temporary camp before it was converted into a castle around 1100 . Occupation continued until the Elizabethan era .

These planes could be flown by onboard pilots or they could be flown by remote control from the ground or from other aircraft .
