[SIZE=+1]After 1086[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]At some point after 1086, the Skipton estate came into the ownership of the Norman Robert de'Romille and became known as the Honour of Skipton. It is Robert de'Romille who built the first military stronghold at Skipton probably around 1090. The first castle would most likely have been a palisaded fortress, but it is thought that a stone structure replaced it shortly afterwards. The dates of the earliest remains of the castle are probably 1190-1220-the Norman archway leading into [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Conduit Court[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] and the inner gate-house are thought to date from this time. The Honour of Skipton past from the de Romilles to the Counts of Albemarle by the marriage of Alice de Romille's third daughter, Cecily, to William Le Gros, Earl of Albemarle. From this family the Honour passed into the Forz family. [/SIZE]
