Informations supplémentaires

The south tower (R) & west gatehouse to the diamond-shaped inner ward of Rhuddlan Castle, Denbighshire, Wales, UK, looking E from the outer ward. King Edward I founded a defended borough & began building the castle at Rhuddlan in 1277 as part of his campaign to conquer North Wales. The castle was besieged during a second Welsh rising in 1282, but work resumed the following year and continued until 1286. Rhuddlan was situated at the lowest fording point & highest point of navigation on the Clwyd; Edward had a dock created below the castle & a 2-3-mile stretch of the river canalised to make it navigable to sea-going shipping. Taking over from Master Bertram, Master James of St George was in charge of operations at Rhuddlan, the first time he is recorded working on an English royal castle.
