Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  He taone nui a Melbourne i South Derbyshire e tata ana ki te Awa o Trent, i ahu mai i nga whare e pa ana ki te whare rangatira ki te tonga o te whakataunga tata ki Kings Newton. I hangaia a Melbourne Castle i runga i te papa o tetahi whare rangatira o mua kaore i mohiotia te ra; he tikanga tawhito i whakatuhia te whare rangatira i te tau 900, i te wa o te kingitanga o Alfred the Great, engari kaore he taunakitanga mo tenei. E ai ki te Domesday Book, ko te whare rangatira o Melbourne me ona whenua te taonga o Kingi Edward te Confessor i mua o te Norman Conquest. Na ka haere te taonga ki nga ringaringa o William I o Ingarangi. Whai muri i te hanganga o te Diocese o Carlisle i te 1133, ka hoatu e Henry I te whare rangatira mo te ora ki a Æthelwold, te pihopa tuatahi. I muri iho, ka hanga e te tiotio he whare rangatira tata ki te wāhi e kiia nei ko Melbourne Hall. I te matenga o Pihopa Æthelwold i te 1156, ka hoki mai te whare rangatira ki te karauna. Ko te papa hopu kingi e tata ana ki Melbourne i hangaia pea e Kingi John huri noa i te 1200, a e mohiotia ana kua noho te Kingi ki te whare rangatira i nga wa e rima. I hoatu e Hoani te whare rangatira me ona whenua ki a Hugh Beauchamp, ahakoa te ahua kua hoki wawe mai ki te karauna, i whakawhiwhia e Henry III ki a Pihopa Walter Mauclerk o Carlisle i te 1230. I hoki mai te whenua ki te karauna i te matenga o te pihopa i te 1248, a ka tukuna e Henry te whenua ki tana tama, Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl o Lancaster, i te 1265. I etahi wa i muri mai, ko te whare rangatira i whakawhiwhia ki a Philip Marc, i mua i te whakawhiti ki a Thomas, 2nd Earl o Lancaster, te tama a te Kingi. I te tau 1298 i te wa i pakeke ai ia, i te mea kua mate tona papa i nga tau e rua i mua atu. He ruarua noa iho nga korero mo te whare, engari he rekoata mo te whakatika i nga rerenga i te 1246 me te tuanui o te Whare o te Kingi i te 1248.  Pātai: āhea te matenga o te Pihopa?
