History of and gazetteer to all surviving Welsh castles - the
majority 13c - arranged by county, with full OS details. The
medieval castles of Wales are an imposing group of monuments.
Although there are examples from the Norman period, the vast
majority of the surviving castles date from the thirteenth century,
a dramatic and turbulent period when Wales was nearly united under
native rule before succumbing to Edward I's conquest: Caernarfon,
Conway, Harlech and Beaumaris are justly famous, but equally fine
examples can be found elsewhere, including Pembroke, Kidwelly
andChepstow in south Wales; native Welsh castles feature
prominently. This book provides a brief account and complete
gazetteer of every surviving castle in Wales, from the impressive
earthworks raised by the Norman invaders to the castle-palaces of
the later middle ages, and including the remarkable town
fortifications of Wales; it is arranged by county for convenience
of reference, and offers full Ordnance Survey details. Lavishly
illustrated. ADRIAN PETTIFER gained his degree in ancient and
medieval history from Birmingham University.
