The castle seems to have been in existence by the late 11th century or the early 12th century when it was known as Godrics Castle, named probably after Godric of Mappestone. In 1144 William fitzOsbern seized the castle during the Anarchy of the reign of Stephen. During this time the small Norman keep to the south of the entrance gate was built by Gilbert de Clare.

During the following reign the castle and manor were held by the Crown. In 1203 King John granted the castle and manor to William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. When his son died the castle reverted to the Crown again.

In 1247 Goodrich passed by marriage to William de Valence, half brother to Henry III. William and his son Aymer made many alterations to the castle. Following the death of Aymer de Valence in 1323 the castle passed, again by marriage, to Richard, 2nd Baron Talbot in 1326. For many years Goodrich was home to the Talbots, who were made Earls of Shrewsbury in the 15th century.

Following the Wars of the Roses, in 1460 on the defeat of the Lancastrians and the forfeiture of the castle, Goodrich was granted to the Yorkist William Herbert. However, John, the 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury made his peace with the King and regained control of his lands before his death in 1473.

In 1616 the 7th Earl of Shrewsbury died with no male heir. Goodrich came into the hands of Henry Grey, Earl of Kent and at this point the castle was no longer occupied.

In 1643 during the Civil War the Earl of Stamford garrisoned the castle for Parliament. In 1645 the castle became the scene of one of the most desperate sieges in Herefordshire. The siege continued into 1646. After being in the hands of Parliament, it was later occupied by a garrison led by the Royalist Sir Henry Lingen. It was attacked by Colonels John Birch and Kyrle. Colonel Birch built an enormous mortar that was called ‘Roaring Meg’. Eventually the Royalists surrendered. In 1647 the castle was slighted, which made it virtually uninhabitable and prohibited re-fortification.

The castle then remained with the Earls of Kent until 1740 when it was sold to Admiral Thomas Griffin. It later passed through various hands until 1920 when it was placed with the Commissioner of Works

Substantial remains still exist and are managed by English Heritage. ‘Roaring Meg’ has been returned to the site.

Poor Imelda Marcos Wants Her Diamonds Back - Worth P15 Billion?

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/165176/poor-imelda-wants-her-diamonds-back

Manila, Philippines - Imelda Marcos claims she’s going broke. And she has the perfect solution: she wants her loot back.

The wife of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos is demanding that the Philippine government return P15 billion worth of jewelry a collection which includes a Persian-style necklace with more than 100 carats of canary and pink diamonds; tiaras previously owned by European royalty; a 93-carat diamond necklace crafted by renowned Italian designer Gionmoria Buccellati.

There is no conceivable way Mrs. Marcos could have paid for the jewels on the ostensible salary of her late husband Ferdinand, who was first president and then dictator of the Philippines. Yet she claims the loot is rightfully hers, and wasn’t bought using plundered wealth.

The jewels consisting of three collections were seized by or turned over to the Philippine government after the downfall of the Marcos regime in 1986. See sidebar

In her letter to Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) on May 25, 2009, Mrs. Marcos insisted that she remains the items legitimate owner since the agency has yet to initiate any civil or criminal proceedings in any court for their forfeiture.

Mrs. Marcos noted that the PCGG never issued any sequestration or freeze order over the jewels, as mandated by Article 18 of the 1987 Constitution.

The Justice Department, however, rejected Mrs. Marcos request, saying that the Malacaang collection is part of forfeiture proceedings pending before the Sandiganbayan, the countrys anti-graft court.

Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera said there is no way that the PCGG can release the jewelry due to the pending forfeiture case.

Marcos wealth

Imelda’s attempt to reclaim the jewels is only the latest episode in a two-decade battle between the Marcoses and the government over the wealth of the late dictators family.

Shortly after she was swept to power in the 1986 EDSA revolt, former President Corazon Aquino formed the PCGG to assert the government’s claims.

Aside from the contested jewels, the Marcos wealth purportedly includes millions of dollars stashed away in Swiss bank accounts, several private estates, and the secret ownership of shares in private corporations of Marcos cronies.

More than two decades have passed since the Marcos regime was overthrown by the People Power uprising, but the family has always insisted that their wealth was not ill-gotten.

Mrs. Marcos argues that her husband was already rich even before they got married, fending off claims that she, her husband, and their friends pilfered the Philippine governments treasury.

Mrs. Marcos alone is facing 10 graft charges on allegations that she held financial interests in secret foundations and private enterprises while she was a member of the Interim Batasan Pambansa from 1978 to 1984.

To date, neither Imelda nor any of the accused of ill-gotten wealth during the Marcos regime have spent a minute in jail. But the government has had moderate success in recovering the Marcos wealth in a range of corporations and properties.

Mockery of justice

Critics of the Marcos administration have vowed to block the possible return of the confiscated jewelry to the former First Lady.

Etta Rosales of the militant group Akbayan said returning the jewels would be a disservice to Filipinos, especially the victims of human rights abuses, torture, and enforced disappearance during martial law from 1972 to 1981.

The first thing you must understand is the difference between the lease option and the lease purchase. When you have a lease purchase, there is no option to buy at the end of the purchase. The buyer has already agreed to buy the home ….
