Arundel Castle, West Sussex, England Pictures

Arundel Castle in West Sussex, England is a restored medieval castle. The castle dates from the reign of Edward the Confessor (r. 1042–1066) and was completed by Roger de Montgomery, who became the first to hold the earldom of Arundel by the graces of William the Conqueror. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.

From the 11th century onward, the castle has served as a hereditary stately home to several families (with a few and brief reversions to the Crown) and is currently the principal seat of the Duke of Norfolk and his family. It is a Grade I listed building. http://www.arundelcastle.org/

I have received notification that I have been bestowed the title of Duke of Sussex by the Royal Registar of Titles in London last year and was wondering if I could receive some information about my title and family history. I know my last name was Holland then changed to Hollandbache then to Hollandbeck. I am sure there are many more versions of the last name. You can reach me at mdeventplanning@hotmail.com. I appreciate your help in this matter.
