Tutbury Castle is a largely ruined medieval castle at Tutbury, Staffordshire, England, in the ownership of the Duchy of Lancaster. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. People who have stayed in the castle include Eleanor of Aquitaine and Mary, Queen of Scots, who was a prisoner here. ==Early history== Tutbury Castle became the headquarters of Henry de Ferrers and was the centre of the wapentake of Appletree, which included Duffield Frith. With his wife Bertha, he endowed Tutbury Priory with two manors in about 1080. It would seem that Tutbury at that time was a dependency of the Norman abbey of St Pierre‑sur‑Dives.〔Marios Costambeys, 'Ferrers, Henry de (d. 1093x1 100)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, May 2007 (61, accessed 28 Oct 2007 )〕 The castle was destroyed by Prince Edward in 1264 after the rebellion of Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby. In 1269, after a further rebellion the lands were given to Edmund Crouchback and have remained part of the Duchy of Lancaster.〔J. R. Maddicott, ''Ferrers, Robert de, sixth earl of Derby (c. 1239–1279)'', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 28 Oct 2007 )〕 Apart from the 12th century chapel the ruins date from the 14th and 15th centuries when the castle was rebuilt. In 1999 Lesley Smith became the Curator of the Castle, which she leases from the Duchy of Lancaster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tutbury Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
