More about this scene
The most infamous event in the castle's history occurred in the hall, situated just behind this outer wall. At Christmas 1175 the Norman lord, William de Braose, invited Seisyll ap Dyfnwal and other Welsh nobles to a banquet. At this time there were hopes of a truce in the intermittent warfare between the Normans and the Welsh. Instead, William callously massacred his guests and provoked acts of revenge.
