Huntingdon Castle was one of several Midlands and eastern castles that rebelled against Henry II during the 1173-74 revolt. Royal forces besieged and reduced it as Henry II moved swiftly to suppress the rebellion after his return from France. The castle's fall contributed to the rapid collapse of the revolt in England.
