Bodiam Castle (/ˈboʊdiəm/) is a 14th-century
moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was
built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of
Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to
defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred
Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep,
having its various chambers built around the outer defensive
walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by
towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and
situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that
display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well
as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the
centre of the manor of Bodiam.
Possession of Bodiam Castle passed through several generations
of Dalyngrigges, until their line became extinct, when the
castle passed by marriage to the Lewknor family. During the Wars
of the Roses, Sir Thomas Lewknor supported the House of
Lancaster, and when Richard III of the House of York became king
in 1483, a force was despatched to besiege Bodiam Castle. It is
unrecorded whether the siege went ahead, but it is thought that
Bodiam was surrendered without much resistance. The castle was
confiscated, but returned to the Lewknors when Henry VII of the
House of Lancaster became king in 1485. Descendants of the
Lewknors owned the castle until at least the 16th century.
By the start of the English Civil War in 1641, Bodiam Castle was
in the possession of Lord Thanet. He supported the Royalist
cause, and sold the castle to help pay fines levied against him
by Parliament. The castle was subsequently dismantled, and was
left as a picturesque ruin until its purchase by John Fuller in
1829. Under his auspices, the castle was partially restored
before being sold to George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and
later to Lord Curzon, both of whom undertook further restoration
work. The castle is protected as a Grade I listed building and
Scheduled Monument. It has been owned by The National Trust
since 1925, donated by Lord Curzon on his death, and is open to
the public.

Edward Dalyngrigge was a younger son and thus deprived of his
father's estates through the practice of primogeniture, hence he
had to make his own fortunes.[1] By 1378, he owned the manor of
Bodiam by marrying into a land-owning family.[2] From 1379 to
1388, Dalyngrigge was a Knight of the Shire for Sussex and one
of the most influential people in the county.[3] By the time he
applied to the king for a licence to crenellate (build a
castle), the Hundred Years' War had been fought between England
and France for nearly 50 years.[4] Edward III of England
(reigned 1327–1377) pressed his claim for the French throne and
secured the territories of Aquitaine and Calais. Dalyngrigge was
one of many Englishmen who travelled to France to seek their
fortune as members of Free Companies – groups of mercenaries who
fought for the highest bidder. He left for France in 1367 and
journeyed with Lionel, Duke of Clarence and son of Edward III.
After fighting under the Earl of Arundel, Dalyngrigge joined the
company of Sir Robert Knolles, a notorious commander who was
reputed to have made 100,000 gold crowns as a mercenary from
pillage and plunder.[5] It was as a member of the Free Companies
that Dalyngrigge raised the money to build Bodiam Castle; he
returned to England in 1377.[6]
The Treaty of Bruges (1375) ensured peace for two years, but
after it expired, fighting resumed between England and
France.[7] In 1377 Edward III was succeeded by Richard II.
During the war, England and France struggled for control of the
English Channel, with raids on both coasts. With the renewed
hostilities, Parliament voted that money should be spent on
defending and fortifying England's south coast, and defences
were erected in Kent in anticipation of a French invasion.[8]
There was internal unrest as well as external threats, and
Dalyngrigge was involved in suppressing the Peasants' Revolt of
1381.[3] The manor of Bodiam was granted a charter in 1383
permitting a weekly market and an annual fair to be held.[9][10]
In 1385, a fleet of 1,200 ships – variously cogs, barges, and
galleys – gathered across the English Channel at Sluys,
Flanders; the population of southern England was in a state of
panic. Later in the year, Edward Dalyngrigge was granted a
licence to fortify his manor house.[8]
