More about this scene
Merthyr Tydfil still has the ruins of a medieval castle. Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Glamorgan built it on land claimed by Humphrey de Bohun, Lord of Breconshire. There were many horse- and cattle-stealing raids, and an actual battle was reputed to have taken place near here called Maes-y- faenor. Edward I had Morlais Castle partly destroyed to prevent its use as a fortress.
