Charles was officially proclaimed Duke of Cornwall at Launceston Castle in 1973.
During the Civil War, the castle's walls and defences were in such a poor state of repair that the Parliamentarian army did not bother to slight them when they gained control of the castle from the Royalists.

In 1646 the castle was used as the base for the Cornish Royalist defence of Cornwall.
