IN its 950 years, Richmond castle has seen many curious goings-on, but perhaps none has been more curious than the carryings-on between its founder and the daughter of King Harold.
Gunhilda, the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, was holed up in a nunnery, going blind, when she fell in love with Count Alan, the creator of the castle and the most powerful man in the north. She left her nunnery for him, and co-habitated with him for perhaps 20 years, and then when he died, she moved onto his brother, who was also called Alan.
“I believe that Gunhilda was perhaps not only a beautiful orphan princess in danger, but she was also very resourceful, playing her hand exceptionally well,” says Colin Grant, of Richmond Civic Society, in response to our article a fortnight ago about the history of the castle and the events which will celebrate its anniversary when the pandemic lifts. ....

Gunhilda the great survivor: The orphaned Anglo-Saxon princess who prospered at Richmond Castle

Richmond's rock of ages

1071
ALTHOUGH William, the Duke of Normandy, conquered England in 1066 when he killed King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, the north refused to submit – so he decided to force it, through a campaign of destruction known as “the Harrying of the North”.
In 1071, with the north cowed and burned, he gave the land between the Ure and the Tees to Count Alan Rufus, who had led the Breton knights at Hastings and was one of William’s closest friends.
The most important settlement in this area had probably been Gilling West, but Count Alan needed to show that he was the new and only power in the land, so he chose to build an overwhelmingly huge castle on a stunning new site overlooking the Swale. ....
