==História==

The oldest surviving structure on the castle site dates to the 11th century, although evidence exists of some form of stronghold predating the [[Norman Conquest]]. [[Edward the Martyr]] was assassinated at the site on [[March 18]], [[978]].
Construction of a stone hall and inner bailey wall occurred in the 11th century and extensive construction of other towers, halls and walls occurred during the reigns of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]], [[John I of England|John]] and [[Henry III of England|Henry III]]. By the 13th century the castle was being used as a royal treasure storehouse and prison. The castle remained a royal fortress until sold by [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]] in the 16th century to her [[Lord Chancellor]], Sir [[Christopher Hatton]].
The castle was bought by Sir [[John Bankes]], [[Attorney General for England and Wales|Attorney General]] to [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], in 1635. During the [[English Civil War]], the castle twice came under [[siege]] by [[Parliament of England|Parliamentarian]] forces. Sir [[John Bankes]] was away from his estate attending to [[Charles I of England|Charles I]] so defence of the castle was led by his wife [[Lady Mary Bankes]] — "Brave Dame Mary" as she became known.

The first siege, in 1643, lasted for six weeks before the Parliamentarians withdrew with the loss of 100 men. The second siege, in 1646, was resisted for two months before the castle was betrayed by a member of the [[garrison]]. After its capture, the castle was slighted (destroyed) with some explosives and mainly by [[undermining]] to ensure that it could never stand again as a [[Cavaliers (royalists)|Royalist]] stronghold. In the centuries that followed, the local populace took advantage of this easy source of building material and masonry, door frames and other items originally from the castle can be seen in a number of nearby houses.
After [[English Restoration|the restoration]] of the monarchy in 1660, the [[Bankes]] family regained their properties. Rather than rebuild or replace the ruined castle they chose to build a new house at [[Kingston Lacy]] on their other Dorset estate near [[Wimborne Minster]].
In the 1980s, Ralph Bankes bequeathed the entire Bankes estate to the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]], including Corfe Castle, much of the village of Corfe, the family home at Kingston Lacy, and substantial property and land holdings elsewhere in the area. The castle is open to the public, receiving 168,377 visitors in 2004, and is a grade I [[listed building]]. As of summer 2006, the dangerous condition of the keep had caused it to be closed to visitors, who may only visit the walls and inner bailey. The National Trust are undertaking an extensive conservation project on the castle, and the keep is expected to re-open to visitors in summer 2008. <ref>{{cite web | title=Corfe Castle | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/search/details.aspx?id=109274 | accessdate=2006-08-18}}</ref><ref>National Trust Annual Report 2004-05</ref>-->
