Hundreds of years ago, the Iceni tribe populated the area surrounding modern-day Norwich, with their capital located nearby. Much of the settlement’s development took place following the Norman conquest, including that of Norwich Castle. It received a royal charter from Henry II in 1158, and another one from Richard the Lionheart in 1194.
