Ardee Castle — The claim that Ardee Castle is 'the largest fortified medieval tower house in Ireland or Britain' is factually incorrect, as it is not the largest in Britain.
Ardee Castle — The statement that the original walls were built in 1207 by Roger de Peppard is not supported by reliable historical records.
Ballincollig Castle — The claim that the Barretts purchased the castle outright in 1468–69 from Sir Robert Coll is not supported by established historical records; the Barretts bought the estate lands from the Coll family, but there is no evidence that Sir Robert Coll personally ow
Ballincollig Castle — The statement that the castle was taken by Oliver Cromwell's forces by 1644 is inaccurate; Cromwell's campaign in Ireland began in 1649, not 1644.
Carrickfergus Castle — The entry states 'King William III first set foot in Ireland at Carrickfergus Castle on 14 June 1690.' This is incorrect; he landed at the harbour, not at the castle itself.
Castello di Agrigento — The claim that construction began in 1087 under Count Roger is incorrect: no widely accepted historical evidence supports construction starting that same year.
Castello di Agrigento — The claim that Muhammad al-Idrisi was an 'Arab historian' is inaccurate: he was a geographer and cartographer, and his work 'The Book of Roger' was completed in 1154, not 1150, with no verifiable mention of Castello di Agrigento as a 'main stronghold' in 1150.
Castello di Caccamo — The castle was not built by Matthew Bonnellus in the 12th century; the specific builder is not established as Matthew Bonnellus in historical canon.
Castello di Caccamo — The Sala della Congiura is named after the 1160 plot, but the claim that the meeting of Norman barons occurred specifically in that room is not historically verified; it is a traditional attribution, not a confirmed fact.
Castello Maniace — The claim that the first fort on the site was built in 1038 by George Maniakes is not supported by established historical evidence; there is no widely accepted record of Maniakes constructing a fort on that exact spot in 1038, only that he captured Syracuse.
Castello Maniace — The statement that in 1298 the castle withstood an assault by an Angevin–Aragonese fleet during the Angevin invasion of Sicily is factually problematic: the Angevin and Aragonese were opposing sides in the War of the Sicilian Vespers, so an 'Angevin–Aragonese
Castello Normanno (Aci Castello) — The castle was built in 1076 by the Normans: This date is not reliably established by historical consensus; the exact construction date is uncertain, and 1076 is often cited without firm evidence, but it is not a confirmed fact.
Castello Normanno (Aci Castello) — In 1169, Aci Castello started to expand after an eruption of Mount Etna made the towns in its vicinity uninhabitable: There is no widely accepted historical record that Aci Castello specifically expanded in 1169 due to an Etna eruption.
Castello Normanno (Paternò) — The castle was not built in 1072; construction likely began later, in the late 11th or early 12th century, and the earliest documented reference is from the 12th century.
Castello Normanno (Paternò) — The original style is not 'Ghibelline merlons'; Ghibelline (swallow-tailed) merlons are a later, often 13th-century or later addition, not original to Norman construction.
