12th Century Tamworth Castle, a Grade I listed building, is a Norman castle, overlooking the confluence of the River Anker and the River Tame, in the town of Tamworth in Staffordshire, England. An Arthurian fresco, was painted during the lordship of Sir Thomas Ferrers, who was knighted in 1461. The duel between Lancelot and Tarquin was mentioned in Sir Thomas Malory`s “Morte d`Arthur”, printed by William Caxton, and published in 1485, the year in which King Richard III was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
