Windsor castle stands on an isolated chalk hill overlooking the River Thames. First castle built  by William the Conqueror this position being a days march to London. The round tower, dating from the 11th century. Henry 1st who reigned between 1100-1105, held court at Windsor in 1114 and in the 12th century King Henry 2nd who ruled 1154-1189, enlarged the defensive works and built another defensive wall within the castle. Further development continued by Edward III who ruled 1327-77 and this reconstruction is roughly as the castle is today. In the reign of George IV, the architect Sir Jeffry Wyattville was employed to reconstruct the keep and upper ward. The keep was heightened by 30ft and given windows.
