The Castle hosted several Queens (such as Eleonora di Castiglia, Isabella di Castiglia, Giovanna di Navarra, Caterina di Valois, Caterina d'Aragona, etc.), particularly during his widowhood or divorces, and among his most famous patrons also includes King Henry VIII , of which a full-size bust was erected on site.
In addition to the royal family, it was owned by the Fairfax, Culpepper and Wykeham Martins families.
