Fix this textCARNARVON CASTLE.
Fix this textCARNARVON CASTLE occupies ’ the entire west end of the
Fix this texttown of Carnarvon, North Wales, and is washed on two sides
Fix this textby the waters of the Seiont and Menai Straits. It was begun by
Fix this textEdward I in 1283, and is the masterpiece of his architect Henry de
Fix this textElreton, and one of the most imposing and extensive medieval
Fix this textfortresses in Europe. The castle is built entirely of hewn stone ;
Fix this textits walls are from eight to fourteen feet thick, strengthened by
Fix this textseveral polygonal towers surmounted by turrets. The most inter-
Fix this textesting portion is the Eagle’s Tower, in which Edward II is generally
Fix this textsupposed to have been born ; the chamber is small and has no
Fix this textfireplace, but its .discomfort was modified by the hanging of tapesty
Fix this texton the walls, a custom introduced into England by Queen Eleanor —

Fix this textChieftains at Rhuddlan. He began his harangue to the assembled

Fix this textwish to have a prince of their own country, if they promised obedi-
Fix this textence to the one he named he would indulge them by nominating
Fix this texta person whose life had hitherto been irreproachable, one that was
Fix this textborn among them and could speak no word of English. The chief-
Fix this texttains eagerly assented to his offer and swore obedience, when the
Fix this textKing presented his own son, born a few days before at Carnarvon
Fix this textCastle. “This,” said he, “shall be your future prince. Well eich
Fix this textdyn!” (Behold your man!) According to another tradition, it was
Fix this textoutside the Queen’s Gate of .Carnarvon Castle itself that the baby
Fix this textprince was exhibited to the astonished Welsh assemblage. Since
Fix this textthe time of the Restoration Carnarvon Castle has belonged to
Fix this textthe Crown.
