Huntington Castle

Huntington Castle was situated in the village of Huntingdon in Herefordshire, England, 2½ miles south-west of Kington (grid reference SO249539).

The castle is sited on a commanding position on the modern day England Wales border in what was the Welsh Marches in Norman and medieval times. It overlooks the valley, protected by steep ravines to the north and west, and moated by the brook.

It is likely that this castle was built as the successor of nearby Kington Castle which was probably destroyed in 1216.

The castle had been in the hands of the de Braose family but was seized in 1228 by Henry III following the death of Reginald de Braose. However the castle must have been returned to the de Braose family because on the death of William de Braose it passed by marriage to the de Bohun family and saw some fighting during the Baron's War of the 1260s. It remained in this family until the death of its last male heir in 1372. The eldest daughter of the family Mary de Bohun married Henry, Earl of Derby who was elevated to the rank of Duke of Hereford by Richard II, his cousin. It remained his property until his own accession to the throne as Henry IV in 1399.
