More about this scene
The earliest castle here is thought to have been built by Bernard de Baliol. When John Baliol was crowned King of Scotland in 1292, his English estates, including Barnard Castle, were declared forfeit to the English crown. The Bishop of Durham claimed Barnard, and he actually occupied it from 1296 to 1301, when Edward I took it back.
