The find spot, Framlingham in Suffolk, is the site of Framlingham Castle which was once the stronghold of the powerful Dukes of Norfolk. The present structure dates to 1148 AD but may have replaced an earlier burh from pre-Conquest times. It has had royal associations for centuries, and Mary Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII by his first wife, Catherine of Aragon) was proclaimed Queen of England at the castle in 1553, the first woman to accede to the throne of England in her own right. -
