Southsea Castle, historically also known as Chaderton Castle, South Castle and Portsea Castle, is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII on Portsea Island, Hampshire, in 1544. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the Solent and the eastern approach to Portsmouth.

  • Le château de Southsea (également connu au début de son existence sous le nom de château de Chaderton) fait partie des fortifications d'artillerie d'Henri VIII qu'on appelait aussi « Châteaux Henriciens ». Il fut construit en 1543 sur le front de mer à l'extrémité sud de l'île de Portsea (un lieu qui plus tard prit le nom de Southsea en référence au château). Ce château fut bâti pour surveiller l'entrée est menant au Solent et celle conduisant au port de Portsmouth. C'est tout près de cet endroit qu'Henri VIII regarda couler la Mary Rose en 1545. (fr)
