Henry Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Newcastle - Nottingham, England - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

Only remnants of the medieval Nottingham Castle, like the gatehouse remain at the site. In the 17th century, Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, built the Duchal Mansion over the site of the original castle, and the gatehouse and the original walls surrounding the castle was retained to serve as a garden wall for the Ducal Mansion. The carved coat of arms of the Duke of Newcastle includes the motto: 'Loyaute n'ahonte' (Old French - 'Loyalty feels not shame.').
