More about this scene

Henry II's 12th-century keep at Castleton, seen here from Cave Dale with Lose Hill in the background, was an obvious sign of the Norman's dominance of the Peak District. Peveril Castle was originally built by William Peveril, illegitimate son of the Conqueror, to administer the Royal Hunting Forest of the Peak.
