The Remains Of Llantrisant Castle

Llantrisant, South Wales

 

A 13th century castle built by Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, on the site of an earlier motte and timber fortification.

 

In 1326 the unfortunate Edward II was imprisoned here briefly under the guardianship of Constable Robert de Aston, before being moved to Berkeley Castle, where he was killed.
