BUSHRANGER BALLADS — PAGE 24

IF HISTORIED CARDIFF CASTLE COULD ONLY SPEAK!  

CARDIFF, the commercial capital of Wales, and one of the great seaports  

of the British Isles, had its early beginnings as Roman stronghold on  

the banks of the River Taff. Roman remains have been found within the  

walls of the present castle, which stands on the line of the Roman coast road  

through South Wales.  

Cardiff Castle was begun as motte-and-bailey earthworks by Robert  

Fitzhamon, the Anglo-Norman conqueror of Glamorganshire, about the year  

1090. His successor, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and son of Henry I, added  

masonry and strongly fortified the castle by building the massive central  

keep on top of the original earthwork and surrounded it with moat which  

has since been filled in. The entrance tower of the keep and the Black Tower  

were built by the “Red Earl” of Clare and the rest of the buildings are of  

various dates from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries.  

In 1490 the castle came into the possession of Jasper Tudor and in 1551  

it was presented by his royal descendant, King Edward VI. to Sir William  

Herbert, ancestor of the present owner, the Marquis of Bute, whose other  

properties include three houses and castle in Scotland, town houses in  

London and Edinburgh and castle in Spain, In 1830 the second Marquis  

of Bute risked his entire fortune on the construction of the extensive docks  

to which Cardiff owes its present size and its position as the largest coal-  

exporting port in the world.  

The castle is still inhabited and parts of it are open to the public when  

the family is not in residence. The State apartments are richly decorated and  

include the Chaucer Room in the fifteenth-century octagon tower where the  

stained-glass windows illustrate the Canterbury Tales.  

The walls of Cardiff Castle still bear the scars of battle, for it was  

captured by Owen Glendower in 1404 and by Parliamentary forces in 1645,  

during the Civil War—only month after it had been visited by Charles I.  

Another important event in the history of the Castle was the imprisonment  

there of Robert. Duke of Normandy, by his brother, Henry I, for twenty-six  

years before his death in 1135. During his long imprisonment the unfortunate  

Duke learned the Welsh language and composed several poems which still  

exist today: plaintive elegy of the times in which he lived.
