... INTRODUCTION In this essay I aim to ascertain whether or not Pontefract Castle was once 'The Greatest Castle in the North. We have chosen to compare Pontefract Castle to Conisbrough and Peveril Castles, as the three were built both around the same time and in the same general locality.

There are three sections to this essay. These are: Pontefract Castle. Conisbrough Castle Peveril Castle Within each of these sections I will discuss: What is meant by 'The Greatest Castle In The North'. Why, when and where were the Castles built. Size. The Keeps.
