Description

Fotheringhay Slot, også kendt som Fotheringay Slot, var et højmiddel-alder normannisk motte- og bailey-slot i landsbyen Fotheringhay, 3 1⁄2 miles nord for markedsbyen Oundle, Northamptonshire, England. Det blev sandsynligvis grundlagt omkring 1100 af Simon de Senlis, greve af Northampton. I 1113 gik besiddelsen over til prins David af Skotland, da han giftede sig med Simons enke. Slottet blev derefter videreført af de skotske prinser indtil det tidlige 13. århundrede, da det blev konfiskeret af konge John af England.

I 1220 var Fotheringhay Slot kontrolleret af Ranulf de Blondeville, 6. greve af Chester. I januar året efter blev det kortvarigt erobret af William II de Forz, 3. greve af Albemarle, i hans oprør mod konge Henry III. Forz forlod slottet, Henry III tog det under sin kontrol, og Fotheringhay forblev i kongelige hænder indtil kong Edward II's regeringstid. Det var en foretrukken bolig for hertugerne af York, og konge Richard III blev født der i 1452. Det var også det sidste sted for fængsling af Mary, Skotlands dronning, der blev prøvet og henrettet på slottet i 1587.
