Battle of Miraz's Castle

The Attack on Miraz's Castle was a battle of the Narnian Revolution. Because the main Telmarine army was preparing for war, and not guarding the castle, High King Peter decided to attack the castle. Although Caspian X was against it at first he eventually agreed.

The attack began with Gryphons lowering Susan,Peter,and Prince Caspian onto the Telmarine castle and killing the guards on watch. The leaders of the Narnian troops, Glenstorm and Asterius, waited for Edmund (who had also been taken to the castle top) to signal with his flashlight when it was time for them to attack. But Edmund dropped the flashlight, where a guard soon found it. Since the guard had been flashing the flashlight, when the main army had not expected it, it caused some confusion on when to attack. Also, several mice, led by Reepicheep, climbed inside, and tied up a cat they found. But Caspain was distracted by rescuing Doctor Cornelius and trying to force Miraz to explain the death of his father, Caspian IX, and was late opening the gate. The Narnian army arrived too early with a closed gate, losing some element of suprise.

Susan tried to persuade Peter to call off the attack, but he felt they could still pull it off. The gate was opened, and the Narnians immedietly locked in battle with the castle garrison. The Satyr Tyrus attempted to kill King Miraz but General Glozelle shot him with an arrow. The Telmarine soldiers attempted to close the gate, but Asterius held it open, allowing the Narnians to retreat out of the castle. King Miraz and the other archers shot and killed Asterius with their arrows and the gate came down. Prince Caspian, Peter, Susan, Cornelius and half of the Narnian troops escaped including Glenstorm and Reepicheep, while the rest were trapped inside the castle courtyard, including Rainstone, Glenstorm's son. Those who were trapped inside were killed by the Telmarine soldiers. Edmund (who had been chased around the towers by guards, escaped a little later.
