A Haiku for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge based on his beautiful photo of Warwick Castle below, and the prompt words, Drift & Air. I have a particular interest in this place as a descendant of William the Conquerer who, it is recorded, built the first incarnation of Warwick Castle, a structure described as a wooden motte and bailey castle, in the year 1068. William is my 35th Great Grandfather. I am descended from his marriage to Maud Athelida de Ingelrica. They had one child, a son, Sir William I “The Elder” De Peverel, Earl of Nottingham (my 34th great) and on and on down through the centuries, here I am. I hope one day to visit Europe to see some of the places my ancestors lived. I might wonder if the landscape that they gazed upon looks much different as I gaze on it today. Thanks TJ for this journey back. ❤️

As I live nearby – I can affirm that Warwick Castle is a splendid place, with beautiful grounds, and steeped in history of course. Hope you get to see one day.

I’ve spent many an hour tracing my ancestors. One particular line on my mother’s side goes way way back! 😊
