    Default ESTABLISHED

    Hi.
    "Firmly established by the 17th centry, casting has existed in other forms since the 1300s."

    What does established means?Formalized?

    I think the meaning is probably different here- the method used for casting had become accepted and was widely used.

    Any answer?

    Castling is a chess rule and cannot be validated.

    Still the same answer. Accepted, confirmed as valid, widely used.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
