There are some anomalies - the current text could be read to suggest that Richard I designed the castle to withstand a siege rather than that he besieged it.

I think the article should also include some of the basics of the story/myths surrounding Mortimer and Isabella and how these relate to Mortimer's Hole.

If some of the time wasted nit-picking on the spelling of mediaeval/medieval had been spent on researching the history of the castle in the Middle Ages, this article would be much improved.
