More about this scene
The town of Richmond grew up round the Norman castle, which was begun around the year 1071 by Alan Rufus, a son of the Duke of Brittany, and William the Conqueror's man in these parts. The Norman fortress dominates the entrance to Swaledale. When the castle was begun, the border between that part of England firmly under Norman control and those still willing to put up a fight lay just a few miles to the north.
