More about this scene
Designed by Edward I's brilliant fortifications expert Master James of St George, Aberystwyth was one of a line of coastal fortresses built by Longshanks in order to impose his will upon the Welsh. It remained an important English garrison until 1404, when it fell along with Harlech and Criccieth to Owain Glyndwr. Recaptured by the English in 1407, it fell again to Glyndwr in 1408, but he was only able to hold on to it for a few months before it was once again in English hands.
