William the Conqueror came to England and, among other things, established his presence by commandeering, building, and repairing many previously existing castle sites. The famous Tower of London is the site of one of his first fortifications.
Pevensey Castle was in ruins when William came across it. He made a few repairs and used it as a temporary shelter.
