Castle Rising is a ruined medieval fortification in the village of Castle Rising Norfolk England. It was built soon after 1138 by William d’Aubigny II who had risen through the ranks of the Anglo-Norman nobility to become the Earl of Arundel. With his new wealth he constructed Castle Rising and its surrounding deer park a combination of fortress and palatial hunting lodge. It was inherited by William’s descendants before passing into the hands of the de Montalt family in 1243.
