Notities over Michael II le Fleming , of Caernarvon Castle

Curt Hofemann sent me a post-em questioning the existence of a CaernarvonCastle outside of Wales in Cumberland (now part of Cumbria). Believe itor not there were two such castles: one in Wales & the other in Cumbria.Searching with google.com for "Caernarvon castle Cumbria" and thensifting through the list turned up several references to the castle inCumbria. Obviously the castle in Cumbria is not very famous, as mostreferences are to the castle in Wales. The following is excerpted from aweb page title "Images of Cumbria - Grasmere Parish",http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/grasmere.html:

RYDAL AND LOUGHRIGG, the former situated on the north side of thebeautiful lake of its name, one mile and a quarter N.W. of Ambleside, andthe latter lying between the rivers Brathay and Rothay, from which itrises boldly into a lofty and romantic fell, and extending from half amile to two miles W. of the same town, form a township which, as Mr.Green says, seems to have been designed by nature for producingextraordinary assemblages of beauty - where "water, wood, rock, andmountain, are rarely seen in greater diversity." Loughrigg contains atarn of twelve acres, and commands fine views of Windermere, Grasmere,Rydal, and Elterwater lakes. The hamlet of Skelwith Bridge, on the riverBrathay, near a waterfall, is in this district, two miles and a halfW.S.W. of Ambleside.

Rydal is supposed by Sir Daniel Fleming, to be a contraction ofRothay-dale, from the river which flows from Langdale Pikes through thelakes of Grasmere and Rydal, to that of Windermere, along a picturesquevale, richly clothed with wood. The manor of Rydal and Loughrigg wasgranted about the year 1280, by Margaret de Brus, to Roger de Lancastre,who held Rydal, with part of Loughrigg and Ambleside, of the king incapite, by the service of the fourth part of a knight's fee. In the reignof Henry VI, Sir Thomas le Fleming, of Coniston, married one of hisdescendants, by whom he obtained this manor, which has since remained inhis family, and is now held by Lady le Fleming. The ancestor of thisillustrious family was Michael le Fleming, one of the adventurers whocame to England with William the Conqueror. He received a grant ofArlecdon, Beckermet, and several other manors in Cumberland, in Furness,and in Lancashire. He died soon after the year 1154 and was buried inFurness abbey, to which he had been a liberal benefactor. From Richard leFleming, his second son, who lived at Caernarvon castle, near Beckermet,are descended the Flemings of Rydal.

---------------

Note: According to the Eskdale "The Lake Districts' Hidden Gem" web site,there is not much more than a mound of dirt where the castle stood. Itprobably was a much less important (and smaller) castle than the one inWales. Beckermet is a village near Whitehaven in Cumberland.
