The Battle of Hastings was only the beginning of the Norman Conquest of England and castles were one of their key weapons in the conquest of the North.
This talk explores how and why castles were used as part of the long-term conquest of England, how local Northern castles and their owners changed from 1066 to 1500, and how Castles were used as focal points for rebellion and civil war throughout the medieval period.
