Henry I. bestowed it on See also:Richard de Redvers, in whose See also:family it continued until Isabellla de Fortibus sold it to See also:Edward I., after which the government was entrusted to wardens as representatives of the See also:crown. The keep was added to the castle in the reign of Henry I., and in the reign of See also:Elizabeth, when the See also:Spanish See also:Armada was expected, it was surrounded by an elaborate pentagonal fortification. The castle was garrisoned by See also:Baldwin de Redvers for the empress Maud in 1136, but was captured by See also:Stephen. In the reign of Richard II. it was unsuccessfully attacked by the See also:French; See also:Charles I. was imprisoned here for fourteen months before his See also:execution.
