Fix this textAT the southern end of the Menai
Fix this textStraits, which separate the island of
Fix this textAnglesey from the Welsh mainland, is
Fix this textthe ancient county-town of Caernarvon.
Fix this textAlthough it stands within half a mile of
Fix this textthe Roman settlement of Segontium,
Fix this textCaernarvon dates from the Middle Ages,
Fix this textand was originally surrounded by a
Fix this textdefensive wall. The town has long out-
Fix this textgrown its walls, but it is still dominated
Fix this textby its castle, which is one of the most
Fix this textimposing monuments of medieval fortifi-
Fix this textcation in Britain. It covers an area of
Fix this textthree acres, and the history of this
Fix this textmassive fortress is the history of
Fix this textCaernarvon.
Fix this textThe first Norman Earl of Chester
Fix this textinvaded Wales at the end of the eleventh
Fix this textcentury and established a wooden forti-
Fix this textfication at Caernarvon. The Normans
Fix this textwere soon driven out, but their castle was
Fix this textstill standing when Edward I invaded
Fix this textWales in 1285 and built on its site the
Fix this textcastle which exists today. It was de-
Fix this textsigned as one of a chain of six fortresses
Fix this textforming military bases for the subjuga-
Fix this texttion of Wales. Edward I (1272-1307),
Fix this textwho originated such institutions as the
Fix this textKing’s Bench, The Court of the Ex-
Fix this textchequer and the Court of Common Pleas,
Fix this textis remembered as the lawyer-king, but he
Fix this textwas also a man of action.
Fix this textWhen Llewelyn, self-styled Prince of
Fix this textWales, and his brother David attempted
Fix this textto break away from England Edward I
Fix this texttook immediate action which resulted in
Fix this textthe conquest of Wales and in the deaths
Fix this textof the two Welsh princes. It was during
Fix this textthis campaign that Edward’s son, the first
Fix this textPrince of Wales, as the title is now under-
Fix this textstood, was born at Caernarvon. The
Fix this textinfant was presented to the Welsh people
Fix this textby the king, who is reputed to have said
Fix this text“Here is a Prince of Wales who cannot
Fix this textspeak English.”
Fix this textIn 1294 the Welsh, under Madoc ap
Fix this textLlewelyn, rose in revolt against the Eng-
Fix this textlish settlers, whom they massacred in the
Fix this texttown, captured and burnt the castle. In
Fix this textthe following year Edward restored order
Fix this textand repaired the castle. During the Civil
Fix this textWar the castle changed hands three
Fix this texttimes, was later used as a prison and
Fix this textfinally dismantled in 1660. Its ancient
Fix this textsieges forgotten, the castle towers stand
Fix this texttoday reflected in the quiet waters of the
Fix this textharbour.
