Chepstow, River And Castle 1893

More about this scene
Chepstow Castle was begun in 1067 by William Fitz Osbern, Lord of Breteuil. At that time Norman expansion into Wales was slow, possibly deliberately so. Norman control over England was effectively limited to the south-east of the country; there were rumours that the sons of King Harold were in contact with King Diarmait of Leinster, who was prepared to provide them with ships and troops to mount an invasion. The Conqueror himself was away in Normandy. Fitz Osbern chose his site for Chepstow Castle well. It sits on a long narrow ridge high above the Wye, its defensive capabilities to landward being enhanced by a ditch.
