Castel Lagopesole was situated along the line of the ancient Roman Via Herculea between Melfi and Potenza in southern Italy. During the eighth through tenth centuries, the site played a strategic role in the region. The castle's construction between 1242 and 1250 is linked to Frederick II. The castle was the meeting place of Pope Innocent II and Abbot Rinaldo of Montecassino during their war against Roger the Norman. Charles I of Anjou used the castle in 1268 and 1294.
