The Bulletin  

‘The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3957  

Wednesday, December 14, 1955  

CHRISTMAS RUMBER  

Price 9cL  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

No. 216: the Homeland Series hy The House of Seppelt.  

SALTWOOD CASTLE, WHERE THE DEATH OF TURBULENT PRIEST WAS PLANNED  

ON the high uplands mile north-west of the Kentish seaside resort of  

Hythe is Saltwood Castle, the ancient fortress where the conspirators  

against the life of Archbishop Thomas Becket met immediately before leaving  

to carry out the assassination in Canterbury Cathedral. This grim tragedy  

was schemed in the greatest secrecy within the walls of the original castle  

of Saltwood on the night of December 28, 1170, by the four knights—  

Fitzurse, de Tracy, de Morville and le Breton, together with Randolph de  

Broc, who, at that time, was holding the castle under grant from Henry 11.  

De Broc had bitter personal feud against the Archbishop, by whom he  

had been excommunicated. The others considered no doubt that they were  

but carrying out the implied behest of their Royal master, Henry 11, who, on  

hearing of some new action on the part of the Archbishop in opposition to  

his policy towards the church, exclaimed in exasperation “Is there not one  

of the crew of lazy, cowardly knights whom maintain, that will rid me of  

this turbulent priest.” The four knights responded to their sovereign’s  

challenge, from whom, after the deed was done, they received nothing but  

condemnation and disavowal. Nevertheless, they were never convicted and  

punished for their crime.  

As far back as Roman days fort of some kind existed on or near the  

site of the present castle, which incorporates some of the early masonry.  

From early Christian times it was held under grant by Archbishops of  

Canterbury, and it was the seizure of this castle by the Crown, and the  

granting of it to de Broc by Henry 11, that was one of Becket’s bitterest  

grievances against the King.  

In the 13th century, during the reign of King John, the castle was  

restored to the Church and in 1381 Archbishop Courtney. reconstructed the  

castle. The gatehouse in its present majestic proportions was built at that  

time, and an Audience Hall and Chapel were added to the buildings in the  

Inner Court. moat, now dry, still surrounds the whole of the inner ward,  

and the deep grooves of the portcullis are still in good repair. Much damage  

was done to the castle by an earthquake in. 1580, but it was repaired in 1882  

and the great Gatehouse was converted into habitable dwelling. From its  

summit on clear day the white cliffs near Boulogne across the Channel can  

be seen.
