1066 The Norman baron Roger de Busli (c.1038 – c.1099) accompanied William the Conqueror in his successful conquest of England in 1066 and was rewarded with the granting of land.
These had previously belonged to a variety of Anglo-Saxons, including Edwin, Earl of Mercia.

Much of the de Busli's family's leverage came from their familial relationships with the crown through the Counts of Eu.

They became the Honour of Blyth (later renamed the Honour of Tickhill), and within it, de Busli erected numerous castles, at Tickhill, Kimberworth, Laughton-en-le-Morthen and Mexborough.
