Nottingham castle was originally built by William the Conqueror along with many other castles to retain power and rule over England. He built the castle with the unwilling help of the men of Nottingham, and was given to William Peverell; his illegitimate son to look after. He built it on 'Castle Rock' in Nottingham, as it is on the top of a rock as high as 130 feet high to the south and west, and gave a great advantage to the defence and attack of the castle.
