Castle Rising
Castle Rising, in
Norfolk, was built in about
1150 by William d'Albini, Earl of
Sussex, who also owned
Arundel Castle. Much of its square keep, surrounded by a defensive mount, is intact, and it is now in the care of
English Heritage.
During the Anarchy it was the site of a mint producing pennies for King Stephen.
Between 1330 and 1358, it was the residence of the disgraced former queen, Isabella of France, who may have died here.
