    John of Gaunt, not just a nobleman, but 3rd son of King Edward III, ancestor of all English monarchs 1399 0nward, all Scottish monarchs 1437 onward, and "also one of the wealthiest men to have ever lived. Taking into account inflation rates, John was worth a modern equivalent of $110 billion, making him the sixteenth richest man in history" wikipedia

    The main aspect would be its water defences in the form of the mere. Whereas many castles were surrounded by a moat, this was a huge artificial lake (reservoir) surrounding it on the two flattest sides, and inspired others elsewhere (e.g. Bodliam). Then of course there's Robert Dudley and his massive upgrade of the castle for the Queen's visit - sadly for him, she refused to marry him (or anyone else - that would have entailed giving up the throne and letting hubby run the country as King!)
