More about this scene
The castle, re-built in stone from 1189 by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, keeps a broody watch on the town - as it has always done. Henry Tudor, the future King Henry VII, was born here in 1457. After years in exile under the protection of his uncle Jasper, Earl of Pembroke, Henry eventually brought the Wars of the Roses to an end when he defeated Richard II at Bosworth in 1485. It is fitting that Henry landed his invasion force of 55 ships and 2,000 mend amongst loyal supporters near Dale, not far from Pembroke.
