It belonged to the see from the tenth century, and was perhaps an occasional residence of the archbishops from the same date. The old buildings were destroyed, and the castle built by Archbishop Giffard (1266 In 125 5 the arch bishop entertained Henry III. And his court at Cawood. About fifty years later, Edward I. Borrowed the castle as a residence for Queen Margaret, his second wife, who lived here during the summer of 1300, when the king was in Scotland. It is also probable that Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II., was staying at Cawood during the siege of Berwick in 1319, when James Douglas formed a plan to carry her off. The plan was revealed by a spy captured at York, and the queen was hastily escorted by the archbishop to Nottingham.
