Newcastle upon Tyne, often shortened to Newcastle, is situated on the north bank of the River Tyne in the north-east of England. The city was founded in Roman times under the name Pons Aelius. After the Roman withdrawal from Britain, Newcastle became part of the powerful Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and was known throughout this period as Monkchester. In 1080 the inhabitants rebelled against the Normans who had invaded England in 1066 and Monkchester was all but destroyed. Robert Curthose, son of William the Conqueror, erected a wooden castle there in 1080 and the town was henceforth known as Novum Castellum or New Castle.
