More about this scene

Edward I was renowned for his military strong- holds, especially in North Wales. In 1254, as a young prince, he was granted the trilateral castles of White Castle, Grosmont and Skenfrith. Probably he was responsible for this twin- towered gatehouse, which in the 1260s became the new entrance to the castle via a drawbridge over the deep moat.
