Beleaguered Castle is a solitaire card game played with a deck of 52 playing cards. This puzzle was inspired by some other picture puzzles by Oberon & Ratwaffles.

The Puzzle - Tale of Two Castles

Along time ago the King of Beleaguered built two castles, Beleaguered & LouisEach castle was built exactly the same from the outside. However, on the inside the castles were very different from each other. Rumor has it that the King built the castles to conceal his fortune. In each castle numbers made of gold are hidden through out. It is believed that 15 of these golden numbers exist. Some folks say that the one who finds all 15 numbers will be given the location of the Kings most valuable treasure, a small box containing untold value. No one knows where any of the numbers are hidden but a good place to start may be in the village outside the castles.

After much searching and coming up empty handed you decide to visit Castle Louis. You enter the castle from the north gate and notice a unique inscription above the archway that reads XLVIII L DCCLXVI. You get the feeling that Castle Louis is the key to finding the golden numbers.
