Wallingford Castle was a major medieval castle situated in Wallingford in the English county of Oxfordshire (historically Berkshire), adjacent to the River Thames. Established in the 11th century as a motte-and-bailey design within an Anglo-Saxon burgh, it grew to become what historian Nicholas Brooks has described as "one of the most powerful royal castles of the 12th and 13th centuries". Held for the Empress Matilda during the civil war years of the Anarchy, it survived multiple sieges and was never taken. Over the next two centuries it became a luxurious castle, used by royalty and their immediate family. After being abandoned as a royal residence by Henry VIII, the castle fell into decline. Refortified during the English Civil War, it was eventually slighted, i.e. deliberately destroye

  • Замок Уоллингфорд (англ. Wallingford Castle) — важный средневековый замок на Темзе в , графство Оксфордшир (историческое графство Беркшир), Англия. Замок по типу мотт и бейли, возведённый в англосаксонском бурге в 1071 году, со временем превратился в то, что историк Николас Брукс назвал «одним из самых могущественных королевских замков XII и XIII веков». Во годы гражданской войны в Англии (1135—1154) замок оставался оплотом императрицы Матильды, несколько раз был осаждён и ни разу не был взят.
