One night in 1330, the 17 year old king, Edward III with the aid of William Montagu and his men, entered Nottingham Castle through a secret labyrinth of man made caves and tunnels, including Mortimer’s Hole, carved into the sandstone outcrop on which the Castle stands. Queen Isabella and her lover Sir Roger Mortimer her accomplice in the murder of Edward II were staying at the castle. Sir Roger was taken to London and executed on the 29 November 1330, and Isabella forced into retirement at Castle Rising Castle.
