3 unusual facts about Caister Castle


Caister Castle

John Paston was a close confidante and advisor to Sir John Fastolf.

John Paston, with some justification, claimed to be his heir; this put him in direct conflict with various major players of the time, such as the Duke of Norfolk and Sir William Yelverton.

The castle had a 100 ft (33 m) high tower and was built between 1432 and 1446 by Sir John Fastolf, who was the inspiration for William Shakespeare's Falstaff.
