Norham Castle in Northumberland, overlooks the River Tweed, on the border between England and Scotland. In 1136 and 1138 David I of Scotland invaded Northumberland and captured the castle. The castle was damaged and remained derelict until the Bishop of Durham had the castle rebuilt . In 1174 he supported unsuccessful rebels in a revolt against Henry II, after which the bishop was forced to relinquish the castle to the crown.
