    Arrow Denbigh Castle, North Wales - March 2009


    Denbigh Castle was built following the 13th century conquest of Wales by King Edward I of England.
    It stands on a rocky promontory above the small town of Denbigh.

    The site of the castle was probably occupied from the early Christian period, with the possibility that a native Welsh fortress was built on the site and was being used as a royal centre immediately before the building of the current stone castle.
    The current stone castle was begun by Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln, to whom King Edward had granted the territory, shortly after the defeat of the last native Welsh prince, Dafydd ap Gruffudd, in 1282.
    It was besieged and captured by the Welsh during the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294; during the siege, a relieving force under de Lacy was defeated in a nearby battle.

    During the English Civil War, Denbigh Castle was a stronghold of the Royalist cause, and King Charles I of England stayed there briefly in September 1645, when his forces in other parts of the country were suffering defeat after defeat.

    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.

    Was really nice when me and BB went last year. Saw the thread title and was scrolling down carefully in case there were any untame pics
