The Bulletin  

‘The Bulletin,” Vol. 71—No. 3686  

Wednesday, October 4, 1950  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Seppelts  

AT the southern end of the Menai  

Straits, which separate the island of  

Anglesey from the Welsh mainland, is  

the ancient county-town of Caernarvon.  

Although it stands within half mile of  

the Roman settlement of Segontium,  

Caernarvon dates from the Middle Ages,  

and was originally surrounded by  

defensive wall. The town has long out-  

grown its walls, but it is still dominated  

by its castle, which is one of the most  

imposing monuments of medieval fortifi-  

cation in Britain. It covers an area of  

three acres, and the history of this  

massive fortress is the history of  

Caernarvon.  

The first Norman Earl of Chester  

invaded Wales at the end of the eleventh  

century and established wooden forti-  

fication at Caernarvon. The Normans  

were soon driven out, but their castle was  

still standing when Edward invaded  

Wales in 1285 and built on its site the  

castle which exists today. It was de-  

signed as one of chain of six fortresses  

forming military bases for the subjuga-  

tion of Wales. Edward (1272-1307),  

who originated such institutions as the  

King’s Bench, The Court of the Ex-  

chequer and the Court of Common Pleas,  

is remembered as the lawyer-king, but he  

was also man of action.  

When Llewelyn, self-styled Prince of  

Wales, and his brother David attempted  

to break away from England Edward  

took immediate action which resulted in  

the conquest of Wales and in the deaths  

of the two Welsh princes. It was during  

this campaign that Edward’s son, the first  

Prince of Wales, as the title is now under-  

stood, was born at Caernarvon. The  

infant was presented to the Welsh people  

by the king, who is reputed to have said  

“Here is Prince of Wales who cannot  

speak English.”  

In 1294 the Welsh, under Madoc ap  

Llewelyn, rose in revolt against the Eng-  

lish settlers, whom they massacred in the  

town, captured and burnt the castle. In  

the following year Edward restored order  

and repaired the castle. During the Civil  

War the castle changed hands three  

times, was later used as prison and  

finally dismantled in 1660. Its ancient  

sieges forgotten, the castle towers stand  

today reflected in the quiet waters of the  

harbour.
