Weobley Castle was a ringwork and bailey castle in the English county of Herefordshire (grid referenceSO40365135).[1] The castle belonged to the De Lacy family who also owned the castles of Ludlow and Ewyas Harold.[2]Walter de Lacy, as Lord of Meath, was one of the most powerful magnates in Ireland. King John I of England doubted his loyalty and so took de Lacy's property into his possession. The estates were put under the custodianship of William de Braose, de Lacy's father-in-law. In 1208 de Braose used Weobley Castle to attack the king's property in Herefordshire. He fled to Ireland, seeking safety with Walter de Lacy in Trim Castle; John pursued him and punished the pair. Walter de Lacy, his brother Hugh, and William de Braose failed to appease the king and fled to France. As a result, all the de Lacy property was taken into the possession of the Crown.[3] All that remains of the castle are severely damaged earthworks.[4]
