Norman Timeline
After the Norman Conquest in 1066, Shrewsbury was granted to Roger de Montgomerie, the first Earl of Shrewsbury. The constant need to defend the fortification against the Welsh prompted de Montgomerie to significantly extend Shrewsbury Castle, now a base for operations into Wales and an administrative centre.
