Berkeley Castle (pronounced "BARK-lee") is a historic castle located in the town of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. Dating back to the 11th century it's recognized as a Grade I-listed building by English Heritage.
This castle is famously associated with the murder of King Edward II in 1327. The Berkeley family, who rebuilt it in the 12th century, have owned the castle for most of its history, with the exception of a period of royal ownership during the Tudor era.
In 1882, the Berkeley barony split from the earldom, and the 8th and last Earl of Berkeley (1865–1942) passed the castle down to his 13th cousin, Captain Robert Berkeley of Spetchley Park, Worcestershire (1898–1969). His grandson, Charles Berkeley (born 1968), who served as High Sheriff of Gloucestershire for 2019/20, inherited the castle and estate from his father, Major John Berkeley (1931–2017).
