Warkworth Slot

Description

Warkworth Slot er en middelalderlig slotruin i den ligeledes navngivne markedsby Warkworth i det engelske grevskab Northumberland. Byen og slottet ligger ved Englands nordøstlige kyst i en bøjning af floden Coquet, omkring en og en halv kilometer fra Nordsøen. Hvornår slottet blev grundlagt er usikkert: Traditionelt tilskrives opførelsen prins Henrik af Skotland i midten af det 12. århundrede, men slottet kan også være bygget tidligere, i den periode hvor kong Henrik II af England fik kontrol over de nordlige grevskaber i England. Warkworth Slot blev første gang dokumenteret i et dokument fra perioden 1157-1164, da Henrik II tildelte det til Roger fitz Richard. Det dengang stadig træslot blev betragtet som "svagt" og blev ikke forsvaret, da skotterne invaderede det nordøstlige England i 1173.
