- @THATSBRAD In its earliest form, the castle consisted of a stone keep, with an enclosure protected by an earthen bank and a wooden palisade. When the castle was built, Robert de Vieuxpont was one of the only lords in the region who were loyal to King John. The Vieuxponts were a powerful land-owning family in North West England, who also owned the castles of Appleby and Brough. In 1264, Robert de Vieuxpont's grandson, also named Robert, was declared a traitor, and his property was confiscated by Henry III. Brougham Castle and the other estates were eventually returned to the Vieuxpont family, and stayed in their possession until 1269, when the estates passed to the Clifford family through marriage.
With the outbreak of the Wars of Scottish Independence, in 1296, Brougham became an important military base for Robert Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford. He began refortifying the castle: the wooden outer defences were replaced with stronger, more impressive stone walls, and a large stone gatehouse was added. The importance of Brougham and Robert Clifford was such that, in 1300, he hosted King Edward I of England at the castle. Robert's son, Roger Clifford, was executed as a traitor, in 1322, and the family estates passed into the possession of King Edward II of England, although they were returned once his son Edward III became king. The region was often at risk from the Scots, and in 1388, the castle was captured and sacked.
Following this, the Cliffords began spending more time at their other castles, particularly Skipton Castle in Yorkshire. Brougham descended through several generations of Cliffords, intermittently serving as a residence. However, by 1592, it was in a state of disrepair, as George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland was spending more time in southern England due to his role as Queen's Champion. The castle was briefly restored in the early 17th century, to such an extent, that King James I of England was entertained there in 1617.[2] In 1643, Lady Anne Clifford inherited the estates, including the castles of Brougham, Appleby, and Brough, and set about restoring them. Brougham Castle was kept in good condition for a short time, after Lady Anne's death in 1676; however, Thomas Tufton, 6th Earl of Thanet, who had inherited the Clifford estates, sold the furnishings in 1714. The empty shell was left to decay, as it was too costly to maintain. As a ruin, Brougham Castle inspired a painting by J. M. W. Turner, and was mentioned at the start of William Wordsworth's poem The Prelude, as well as becoming the subject of Wordsworth's Song at the Feast of Brougham Castle upon the Restoration of Lord Clifford, the Shepherd, to the Estates and Honours of his Ancestors. The castle was left to the Ministry of Works, in the 1930s, and is today maintained by its successor, English Heritage

Nice guided tour. Lots of history and architecture. Great to see you back.
Another great quality video by Brad. I enjoy exploring these places vicariously through your videos .
God, you have no idea how much your content is needed and appreciated!
You look as though you’re enjoying putting stuff together, which is great, so don’t feel pressured to create stuff beyond your comfort zone, but know that when you do, it’s really welcomed by so many of us!!!!
BRADMAAANNNN Here you are. Man happy to see a new video. Gonna watch it now 👍👍
Enjoy
@@THATSBRAD Loved it man.. Felt like a tourist sitting here at home, hearing the storm Ciarán now here outside. Wonderful castle ruin. Thanks man. 👍
👍😊
This is exactly what I want to walk through someday. I imagine if you were to stand quietly among the ruins you would feel the spirits of old around you. Thank you for the History included Brad. Amazing.
I started the video fully expecting to be bored after 3 minutes and click away. I wasn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. It was very interesting. I'd certainly watch if you did more like this.
Been missing you my friend hope all is well and your endevers are all going amazing 😁
Great exploring trip, thanks for the view.
Have a great day, when walking under buildings that hang out, never look up, just look out.....
Excellent work as always. Keep it coming.❤
Miss doing the ruins. Always think it's a shame when the upper floors are gone. That would of been something to have those extra floors to walk around. Those wells are nice and deep. Great vid dude. Good to see you on again. 🙂👍
Good to see you again. Welcome back and hope to see more.
Glad you’re back! You legend 👍
Quality mate , looking forward to another video soon 👍
Great video, Brad. Love old castles and buildings. So rare to see the plaster ?
Nice to see you again.
I would love to see that place restored. I finally found time to watch this video as long as it's been on. No way would I smell a finger in those days
Thanks for the tour. So glad to see you.
I was so excited to see this. So proud you're touring about and taking us with you! FYI type the word into Google and it will pronounce it for you. It brew ham castle. So excited!
great explore Brad, the poop chutes looked smooth lol
I learn more about history from you then I did wayyyy back in school days 👌 wayyyy more interesting as well👌
Good to see you back Brad, Thought you had given up like many others, Always good to see your adventures,You are quite honest and to the point, This makes you good in my book. Somehow I got unsubscribed to you.
Good to see you still posting
Great video. The graffiti section was fascinating.
You’ve been missed. Hope you’re doing well.
Hi yes I'm very well.just working loads I filmed this about a year ago lol
Brilliant, very interesting place enjoyed the history of it 👍 great video Apparently the prenounce of brougham sounds like " broom" 😮
That’s awesome!
the guy sniffing his finger was probably a Norman
I cannot think of why a sane person would not be excited by steps or a poo-chute. Come on, it is a place for poo to rain on the commenters. Around 16 minutes, would that poo-chute have emptied onto a roof?
Either way, it doesn't matter because THATS BRAD is back, baby! I've missed you and have been wondering about you the last few weeks.
Take care, and happy hunting!
My god he’s back, Where have you been hiding?
Strap your pinpointer to your ankle , pull your pants down over it and that way you can technically metal detect it , without metal detecting it . .and carry a spoon to dig with .. if there is a will there is a way
Where you been bro, you still see ash?!
