Bu sawl cyfnod yn hanes adeiladu Castell Rhaglan. Gwnaed y gwaith cychwynnol yn 20au ac yn 30au’r 15fed ganrif, a chafwyd datblygiadau pwysig eraill yn 60au’r ganrif honno. Gwnaed amryw newidiadau a chafwyd ychwanegiadau ar ddiwedd yr 16eg ganrif.

Bu cryn drafod gan academyddion ynghylch faint o ddylanwad Ffrengig cyfoes a fu ar y cynllun. Cred rhai fod modd canfod dylanwad cynlluniau a oedd mewn bri yn Ne Ffrainc ar y pryd.
Dechreuwyd gwaith ar y castell sydd i’w weld heddiw gan Syr William ap Thomas. Yn 1432 prynodd ef faenor Rhaglan a dechreuodd ar raglen adeiladu a sylfaenodd gynllun y castell a welwn bellach.
Yn 60au'r 15fed ganrif bu i fab William, sef William Herbert, ddefnyddio ei gyfoeth cynyddol i ail-lunio Rhaglan ar raddfa fwy mawreddog o dipyn.
Ar ddechrau'r 17eg ganrif gwnaed mân welliannau i'r tu mewn i'r castell gan Edward Somerset, ond canolbwyntiodd ef yn bennaf ar y tu allan, gan estyn a datblygu'r gerddi, a chodi llwybr y ffos oddi amgylch y Tŵr Mawr. Ystyrid bod y gerddi a greodd cystal â dim yn y deyrnas ar y pryd.

Raglan Castle was built in several phases, initial work occurring in the 1420s and 1430s, and with a major phase in the 1460s. There were also alterations and additions at the end of the 16th century.
In the first place, the castle was built of pale sandstone from Redbrook. Later Old Red Sandstone was used, with Bath Stone for many of the detailed features.
There has been much discussion amongst academics about the extent to which Raglan was influenced by contemporary French designs; one school of thought suggests that it was heavily influenced by designs that were then popular in the south of France.
The current Raglan Castle was begun by Sir William ap Thomas. In 1432 William purchased the manor of Raglan and started on a programme of building work that established the basic shape of the castle as we see it today.
In the 1460s William's son, William Herbert, used his increasing wealth to remodel Raglan on a much grander scale.
Edward Somerset made minor improvements to the interior of the castle at the start of the 17th century, but focused primarily on the exterior, expanding and developing the gardens and building the moat walk around the Great Tower. The resulting gardens were considered the equal of any in the kingdom at the time

The bra is a 36B and I wear a ladies size 10 shoe. Usually I wear a size C in Hanes pantyhose.

This evening was my first opportunity to take in the amazing Kauffman Center for Performing Arts, a world class venue for symphony, ballet and theatre productions. This architectural and acoustical masterpiece has been here four years and I'm just now getting around to experiencing it.
Now that we've finally broken the ice, I can see this being a long term relationship, this is my kinda place. The perfect venue to break out a new LBD and some sparkly shoes!
