Maurice de Gaunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maurice de Gaunt was the founder of Beverston Castle in Gloucestershire, England. He began the construction circa 1225 AD without royal licence, and completed the project in 1229 with granting of a licence for the final crenellation. Beverston Castle was further enlarged in the mid fourteenth century and saw action in the English Civil War. The castle is in partial ruin with occupancy as of 2006.
