Narrative
Source Descendants of Adam de Carey, Murray W. Oltman:
Adam de Kari was Lord of the Castle Karye located in Somersetshire about 12 miles southeast of Wells. From here the river Cari rises and flows into the Bristol Channel. It is possible the name CAREY came from the river Cari. The castle is variously named Kari, Karye, Kary, Cary.
Castle Cary is situated in Somerset, twelve miles south east of Wells. There was a former stronghold known to have been fortified in the time of Saxons. About the year 1125, the Lord William Percival named 'Lovel the Wolf" erected strong fortifications at Kari from which the name is taken.
Much of the time during the reign of King Steven (1135-1154) the Barons were divided into two parties, The Lord Kari being opposed to the King. He made so much trouble that Stephen turned his whole attention to Castle Kari and took it. In 1153, it was beseiged again and nearly ruined.
The Manor House stands on the east side of the street and was a stately edifice. During the wanderings of Charles II, when his army was defeated by Cromwell at the Battle of Worchester, the disguised King slept at Castle Cary on the night of 3 Sept. 1651.
