The site was later taken by the Norman ===
The site was later taken by the Norman family of Vieuxpont to build
their castle, the ruins of which can still be seen. Vieuxpont's castle
consisted of a stone keep, and service buildings, surrounded by a
timber pallisade. By 1268 the castle had passed to Robert Clifford,
whose father Roger had become Lord of Brougham when he married Robert
Vieuxpoint's great-granddaughter. Robert Clifford was an important
figure in the Scottish wars which started in 1296, and he carried out
much work at Brougham to stregthen the defences. In 1643 Lady Anne
Clifford inherited the Clifford Estate. In 1649 when she was 60 years
old, she moved North, and spent the next 26 years rebuilding churches
and castles. Skipton, Pendragon, Appleby, Brough and Brougham Castles
were restored to their former glory. She died at Brougham Castle, in
the room where her father had been born, in 1676. After this the
castle quickley fell into ruin. You can wander through the impressive
ruins of the 13th century fortress, admiring its lovely location of
the banks of the River Eamont. The keep is the oldest part of the
castle still standing; the bottom three stories are from about 1175.
You may explore the keep, walking around the rooms which include the
castle's hall on the first floor. On the second floor is the lord's
chamber, in which Lady Anne slept when she stayed here, and in which
she died. On the third floor is a passage all the way round within the
walls, and from various points you can get impressive views of the
other castle buildings and the surrounding area.

Robert I de Vipont (d.1227/8), the younger son of William de Vieuxpont and Maud de Morville. He was granted by King John in 1203/4 custody of Appleby and Brough in Westmorland with the hereditary office of Sheriff of Westmorland, to be held from the king under military tenure of 4 knight's fees.
