Informations supplémentaires

Grosmont Castle would seem to have been founded after the time of William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford. Earl William was killed the next year and his son Roger de Breteuil, 2nd Earl of Hereford was stripped of his lands in 1075. The land on which Grosmont castle was built now passed either under the control of the de Ballun family of Abergavenny or the Lacys of Weobley, Ludlow and Longtown. The powerful Marcher Baron Pain Fitz John acquired Grosmont in the reign of King Henry I of England (1100-35) and converted it into the head of a lordship which stretched from White Castle in the west to Orcop castle in the east
