Sandal Castle Sussex and Reigate in Surrey, Castle Acre Castle in Norfolk and Conisbrough in Yorkshire. In 1347, Edward III granted Sandal to his fifth son Edmund of Langley who was six years old at the time. His elder brother John of Gaunt held Pontefract and Knaresborough Castles, Edmund was granted Wark Castle near Coldstream in the Scottish Borders, and in 1377 Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire which was to become his home, and for the next 75 years the family seems to have spent little time at Sandal, leaving it to the management of constables or stewards. In 1385 Edmund was made
Fotheringhay Castle as a Scheduled Monument and is open to the public. William the Conqueror granted the area to Judith of Lens, wife of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria. Their eldest daughter, Maud, inherited the lordship of Fotheringhay. Around 1090, she married Simon de Senlis who was made Earl of Huntingdon. Probably in around 1100, he founded Fotheringhay Castle, a Norman motte on the north side of the River Nene. Simon was dead by 1113 when King Henry I of England arranged for Maud to marry Prince David of Scotland. Through this marriage, David who later became King of Scotland, acquired Fotheringhay Castle
