Welcome to Conisbrough 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The name Conisbrough possibly comes from the Old English Cyningesburh (first recorded c. 1000) meaning "king's stronghold" or "king's fortified place" or also it's thought an ancient Britain "Conan" owned the land "Conan" and a seat of power "brough"
It's a pretty little place in South Yorkshire, not far from the M1

Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote about the town, claiming that it had been fortified by Ambrosius Aurelianus (a contender for King Arthur), King of the Britons after his victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Hengist,[12] that the captive Anglo-Saxon leader Hengist was hacked to pieces by Eldol outside the town walls, and was buried at "Hengist's Mound" in the town.
In Walter Scott's novel, Ivanhoe, 'Coningsburgh Castle' is based on Conisbrough. Scott's Coningsburgh is an Anglo-Saxon fortress, based (perhaps knowingly) on the mistaken conclusion that its unique style marked it as a non-Norman castle. The great tower is described specifically, so that it is clear that Scott has the Norman version of Conisbrough in mind.
