Question: The Beeston Castle was built by an Earl that was born in what year?

Earl of Warwick ( ) is a title that has been created four times in English history and is one of the most prestigious titles in the peerages of the United Kingdom.  The first creation came in 1088, and was held by the Beaumont, and later by the Beauchamp families.  The 14th Earl was created Duke of Warwick in 1445, a title which became extinct on his early death the following year.  The best-known Earl of this creation was the 16th Earl, Richard Neville, who was involved in the deposition of two kings, a fact which later earned him his epithet "Warwick the Kingmaker".  This creation became extinct on the death of the 17th Earl in 1499.  The title was revived in 1547 for the powerful statesman John Dudley, 1st Viscount Lisle, who was later made Duke of Northumberland.  The earldom was passed on during his lifetime to his eldest son, John, but both father and son were attainted in 1554.  The title was recreated or restored in 1561 in favour of Ambrose, younger son of the Duke of Northumberland.  However, Ambrose was childless and the earldom became extinct on his death in 1590.  It was created for a third time in 1618 for Robert Rich, 3rd Baron Rich, in spite of the fact that the Rich family were not in possession of Warwick Castle.  From 1673 the Earls also held the title Earl of Holland.  All the titles became extinct on the death of the 8th Earl in 1759.  The earldom was revived the same year in favour of Francis Greville, 1st Earl Brooke.  The Greville family were in possession of Warwick Castle and the title and castle were thereby re-united for the first time in over a century.  The 1759 creation is extant and currently held by Guy Greville, 9th Earl of Warwick.  However, Warwick Castle was sold by the family in 1978, and they currently live in Australia. <SEP> Milntown Castle was an early 16th-century castle which was situated near Milton, in Easter Ross, in the Scottish Highlands.  It was built by the Munro of Milntown family, a cadet branch of the Clan Munro.  In 1656, the castle and estate was sold to George Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Cromartie also known as George MacKenzie of Tarbet.  He renamed the estate New Tarbat after Tarbat Castle (now more commonly known as Ballone Castle), the family's original seat near Portmahomack.  Mackenzie had the Milntown Castle pulled down and only part of the basement survives.  He then replaced the castle with a new mansion built nearby.  When the new mansion was built, the old Milntown Castle was remodelled as part of the garden.  That mansion was itself demolished and in 1787 was replaced with a Georgian house (now known as Tarbat House) by his descendant John Mackenzie, Lord MacLeod. <SEP>  It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, (1170–1232), on his return from the Crusades. Beeston Castle is a former Royal castle in Beeston, Cheshire, England (grid reference [ SJ537593] ), perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 ft above the Cheshire Plain.  In 1237, Henry III took over the ownership of Beeston, and it was kept in good repair until the 16th century, when it was considered to be of no further military use, although it was pressed into service again in 1643, during the English Civil War.  The castle was slighted (partly demolished) in 1646, in accordance with Cromwell's destruction order, to prevent its further use as a stronghold. <SEP>  He was described as "almost the last relic of the great feudal aristocracy of the Conquest". Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester and 1st Earl of Lincoln (1170–1232), known in some references as the 4th Earl of Chester (in the second lineage of the title after the original family line was broken after the 2nd Earl), was one of the "old school" of Anglo-Norman barons whose loyalty to the Angevin dynasty was consistent but contingent on the receipt of lucrative favours.
