Pendragon Castle
Mallerstang Valley,
Nr Kirkby Stephen,
Cumbria, England.
The
12th Century Norman
ruin on the site of what is
reputed to have been a stronghold of Uther Pendragon
The existing Pendragon Castle
itself is now a ruin and was built six hundred years later than the accepted
King Arthur period. It was built in the 12th century by Norman
Knight Sir Hugh de Morville who was one of the
knights who killed the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Thomas a Becket, at Canterbury Cathedral
in 1170. The castle is built on the site of much earlier iron age
fortifications which were probably in use during the late 5th
century.
Uther Pendragon (King Arthur’s father) was reputed to have found
and battled a large dragon-like serpent while in the Mallerstang Valley
in Cumbria
near the site of Pendragon Castle.
He is also said to have ruled the region from Carlisle with
a fort on the site of Pendragon Castle
as another seat of government.
Alternative sources place Uther Pendragon in other parts of
Britain
but the area corresponding to the modern county
of Cumbria
formed part of the Celtic Kingdom
of North Rheged and was Celtic territory for long
after the Anglo-Saxon invasion.
Carlisle
was a Roman fortified town known as Luguvallium and
had the Celtic name Caer Luel.
It has been linked with the celtic leader Vortigern.
The Norman Pendragon
Castle, situated four miles south of Kirkby Stephen.
There is also a story that Uther tried to re-route
the River Eden
to create a moat for the castle.
Kirkby Stephen was once in the old county of Westmorland, abolished in
1974 and incorporated along with Cumberland and a part of North
Lancashire into the new county
of Cumbria.
