In 1371 they were finally settled as part of the Duchy of Lancaster, and have remained so ever since, the queen being now lady of the manor as holder of the lands of the duchy. One of the sons of Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas, was constable under the duchy during the time that John of Gaunt held it. There are few records relating to it from this time until 1590 (save that Richard II. Was imprisoned in it in 1399) when it was thoroughly restored. Leland describes it, as it appeared in his time, in th...e following words : "The castle standith magnificently and strongly on a Rok, and hath a very deep diche hewing out of the Rok, where it is not defendid with the ryver Nydde, that ther renneth in a deade stony bottom. I nombired a eleven or twelve towers in the woal of the Castle, and one very fayre besides, in the second area there long two other lodgings of stone. " In 1616 the castle, honour, and lordships of Knares- borough was granted by James I. To his son Charles — just thirty years later the castle was dismantled by order of the Parliament, whose forces had at last succeeded in reducing it to submission after a most determined resistance on the part of one of Charles's strongest garrisons.
