One of these, known as the "old" or "ancient" castle, was by legend founded by Wada, a 6th-century ruler of Hälsingland. The second castle, (54°29′37″N 0°42′20″W / 54.4935°N 0.7055°W / 54.4935; -0.7055 (Mulgrave Castle (Norman castle))) caput of the feudal barony of Mulgrave, was of Norman construction and remained active until destroyed by order of Parliament in 1647.
