seems to have spent more time at his
Yorkshire castle than any of the previous earls; he held the earldom for close on forty years, from 1163 until
his death in 1202. It was this period that saw the construction of the great stone keep of the castle and its
development as a place suitable for royalty - King John, nephew of Hamelin, did actually stay here in 1201.
The cylindrical keep probably dates from around 1180, Hamelin seems to have ordered its construction to his own design, there being no other example of this type of keep anywhere in the country.

A Norman castle belonging to William, Earl Warenne, son-in-law of William the Conqueror. The keep, the most interesting feature of the stronghold, projects slightly beyond the curtain wall near the north-east edge. The plan resembles a circle inscribed within a six sided star. The castle or area where it now stands appears to have belonged to the de Warenne family.
William de Warenne was made Earl of Surrey in 1088, and was followed in the same year by his son after William's death in battle. The third Earl died in the Crusades in 1147 leaving no male heir. His daughter, Isabel, married King Stephen's son, William de Blois who became the fourth Earl. But again no male heir was produced. Isabel married Hamelin Plantagenet, Henry II's brother. It is Hamelin who built the stone keep as it appears now at Conisbrough. The castle was visited by Hamelin's nephew King John in March 1202.
