Sir Henry Percy Hotspur

Harry Hotspur, son of the 1st Earl of Northumberland, was born at Alnwick Castle in 1364 or 1366. He was supremely powerful in combat on land and sea, though sometimes his hot-headedness could lead him into trouble. Leading lightening-quick strikes against the Scots in the borders gained Harry a fearsome reputation and the nickname ‘hotspur’.
He was immortalised by Shakespeare in his play King Henry IV (Part 1) and killed in battle fighting against that king.

Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone filmed on location at Alnwick Castle in autumn 2000.
The following year, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (the second film in the series) used Alnwick Castle for shooting.
Alnwick Castle starred as the magnificent Brancaster Castle in two Christmas specials of world famous drama series Downton Abbey.
