Slighting
Slighting is the deliberate destruction, partial or complete, of a fortification without opposition, to render it unusable as a fortress. Sometimes, such as during the Wars of Scottish Independence and the English Civil War slighting are carried out on a systematic basis as part of a policy by one or both sides to deny the use of fortified places to their enemies. ==Middle Ages== In England during the Middle Ages adulterine (unauthorised) castles if captured by the king would usually be slighted. During the Wars of Scottish Independence King Robert the Bruce adopted a strategy of slighting Scottish castles to prevent them being occupied by the English.〔Traquar, Peter ''Freedom's Sword'' p. 159〕 A strategy of slighting castles in the Levant was also adopted by the Mamelukes in their wars with the Crusaders.
