More about this scene
Roger de Berkeley, the first tenant after the Conquest, was probably responsible for the construction of the first castle on the site, and we know that Henry II was entertained here over Easter in 1121. The erection of the stone shell keep began about 1156; it underwent extensive remodelling during the 14th century, when Thomas, third Lord Berkeley, had two of the semi-circular bastions replaced and two others incorporated into the structure of the keep.
