The best possibilities I can think of are all castles involved in Philip 
Augustus' attempt to put Richard in his place in the summer of 1188. 
Chateauroux (Berry), Aumale (Normandy), or Issoudun (Berry) might be the 
name you're looking for.  These all fell to Philip while under Richard's 
control.

I could be totally wrong, though.  Richard was constantly getting into 
fights in Angoulême, Limousin, and Périgord in the early 1180s and a 
castle in one of those regions could be the answer.
