	CastleXplorer - Norham Castle
		Norham Castle was founded by Bishop Ranulph Flambard of Durham as the administrative centre for his most northern territory.
		Built in 1121 at a strategic crossing point on the River Tweed, it was soon captured by the Scots in 1136, and although returned to the bishop shortly after, it was again besieged and largely destroyed by the Scots two years later.
		By the end of the 16th century the castle was in a very poor state of repair, and when, in 1603, James VI of Scotland also became James I of England, Norham's position on the border with Scotland lost its strategic importance and the castle was left to fall into ruin.
