Weobley Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

King John, suspicious of loyalty, seized the land and handed it to William de Braose, whose father-in-law Walter de Lacy still commanded power in Ireland. De Braose answered that custody with a raid from Weobley, then fled across the sea to join Walter. John followed, broke their resistance, and took all de Lacy property into the Crown. The castle itself vanished into earth and memory, leaving only a damaged ridge for later people to imagine.

The National Heritage List for England records Weobley Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Weobley Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Weobley family and later held by the Mortimer family, who played a significant role in medieval English history. It is remembered for its strategic position and as a symbol of the power of the Mortimers in the Welsh Marches.
