Arundel and its castle’s story started in 1068, when William the Conqueror permitted his follower Roger de Montgomery, the first Earl of Arundel, to build the castle after the king rewarded him West Sussex and other counties. “The oldest feature of Arundel Castle is the motte, an artificial mound over 100 feet 30.4 meters high followed by the gatehouse in 1070,” according to the castle’s official website.

The sense of history and heritage increased as one passed through the barbicans or fortified outposts leading to the Norman gate. Like its contemporary Windsor Castle, Arundel Castle was built as a Norman “motte and bailey” castles, in which the keep or bailey is built on top of the motte.Yet it’s not all about display. One can relive the era by trying on a medieval costume or pose as a knight with a kite shield.

As with Windsor Castle, Arundel Castle is also open to the public. True to their standing as England’s preeminent Duke and Earl, the Fitzalan-Howards engaged in court intrigue worthy of HBO’s Game of Thrones.

“From the 15th to the 17th centuries, the Howards were veered into the forefront of English history, from the Wars of the Roses, through the Tudor period to the Civil War,” said the castle’s website. "[The Tudor era] were politically dangerous times the third Duke of Norfolk only escaped the death penalty because King Henry VIII died the night before the execution."

The ambitious third Duke engineered the marriages of his nieces Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard to the King, events that were depicted in the Showtime series The Tudors. The two were also the most unfortunate of Henry’s six wives, as both were beheaded for treason at the Tower of London.

Walking along the stone halls of the keep, it’s all too easy to imagine Henry cajoling or persuasion on both women to be his queen. One wonders if Anne or Catherine (particularly the latter) willingly gave their consent, hemmed in as they were by their domineering uncle and the infamous monarch. Yet Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard’s grim fates did not lessen the family’s taste for court intrigue. The castle’s website said that “the fourth Duke was beheaded for plotting to marry Mary Queen of Scots”.

A glimpse of the main palace from the walls of the keep, along with the ornate design of its courtyard, made them a fitting backdrop for the family’s schemes. Yet his descendant Thomas Howard, the 14th Earl of Arundel or “The Collector Earl” steered the family away from politics to the arts in the 17th century.
