## Image Caption

The view south from the keep of [Dover Castle](https://www.worldhistory.org/Dover_Castle/). The castle was first built by [William the Conqueror](https://www.worldhistory.org/William_the_Conqueror/) in the 11th century CE and it was then extensively rebuilt with new walls and a keep added by Henry II (r. 1154-1189 CE). The [Saxon](https://www.worldhistory.org/Saxons/) church of St. Mary predates the castle itself.
