Skipsea Castle William the Conqueror made his trusted follower and husband of his cousin, Drogo de la Beauvriére, the first Lord of Holderness, who built a motte-and-bailey castle here c1086. His successors, the counts of Aumale lived here for the next 150 years until the castle declined after c1200 when the Lords of Holderness moved their principal residence to Burstwick. Popular tradition says that Drogo fled back to Flanders because death of his wife whom he "unhappily killed". Drogo's hasty flight out has given rise to the legend that Drogo murdered his wife by giving her a poison draught which he convinced her was a love potion. He then rode a fast horse to the king's court, borrowed a large sum of money from William and took ship to the continent before news of his deeds could reach the court. The ghost of a 'lady in white' is said to haunt Castle Hill.
