Warwick Castle, a remnant from the Norman conquest of England, is a medieval fortress that has been the seat of Warwick, the Duke of Bedford, since 1068. It is located in north west England, on a ridge overlooking the River Avon. The castle began as a motte and bailey fortress founded in 1068 by William the Conqueror. It was developed into a full-scale Norman fortress, complete with a Great Hall. Warwick Castle is unusual for its combination of an ancient site with a large medieval castle. The castle has undergone many changes over the centuries, particularly during the period of ownership by Richard III between 1471 and 1485. The castle is a major tourist attraction, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually. The castle also invites studies of life in the late medieval period and the development of military technology during that time.
