Fix this textCONWAY CASTLE.
Fix this textr* ON WAY CASTLE, in North Wales, was built in 1294 by
Fix this textEdward I, who wanted a stronghold from which to hold the
Fix this textWelsh in check. It was here that he received from Adam de
Fix this textFrancton the head of Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, severed from his
Fix this textbody at the close of the fight near Pont Orewyn. In 1294 the
Fix this textWelshmen so closely besieged the castle that at last but one flagon
Fix this text°f wine remained of all the royal stores. Edward refused to fare
Fix this textbetter than his soldiery, and, pouring the wine into a barrel ol
Fix this textwriter, gave every man of the garrison his share of the much-
Fix this textdiluted luxury. In 1832, the castle was visited by the Princess
Fix this textVictoria and the Duchess of Kent, who found many traces of the
Fix this textrich decoration of Queen Eleanor’s state bedchamber. In the
Fix this textwindow place of this room is a raised dais, upon which it was
Fix this textQueen Eleanor’s habit to hold her levee. When she fust rose in

Fix this textmost striking adornment of her Spanish beauty.
