More about this scene
Situated three miles south of Rhyl, Rhuddlan was once a strategic location, as it was the lowest point at which the Clwyd could be crossed. The place had been fortified since the 8th century; in the 11th century it was the stronghold of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, though it was destroyed by Harold Godwinsson in 1063. A motte and bailey was built here in the early 1070s by Robert de Rhuddlan, but the ruins we see today date back to the fortress of Edward I.
