Canterbury Castle was one of the three original royal Norman castles of Kent (the other two were at Rochester and Dover). Along with the others, it was built very soon after the Battle of Hastings and was located on the main Roman road from Dover to London - the route taken by William the Conqueror in October 1066. The castle was probably built in the winter of 1066–67.
