EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the grandeur and historical significance of Nottingham Castle. Perched on a strategic promontory known as Castle Rock, this castle has witnessed centuries of noble and royal events in England's history. Originally built in 1067 by William the Conqueror, Nottingham Castle became a symbol of power and authority. It played host to an infamous battle between King Richard I and supporters of Prince John in March 1194, showcasing its importance during medieval times. Another significant event occurred within these walls when King Edward III staged a coup d'état against his own mother Isabella of France and her lover Roger Mortimer in October 1330. These dramatic moments have been immortalized through literature such as James Grant's British Battles on Land and Sea. The print beautifully captures not only the majestic castle but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. People can be seen going about their business near moored boats, adding depth to the scene. As we admire this stunning image from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness both historic battles and everyday life at Nottingham Castle. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by those who once walked these grounds.
