The very first of Edward I's series of castles built to subdue the Welsh. The design of Flint Castle is unique being based on medieval French designs which saw one of the corner towers isolated and enlarged.
Act 3 Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Richard II is set at Flint Castle. At one point Richard appears on the castle walls with Bolingbroke, Northumberland and the Duke of York below:
"See, see, King Richard doth himself appear.
As doth the blushing discontented sun
From out the fiery portal of the east,
When he perceives the envious clouds are bent
To dim his glory and to stain the tract
Of his bright passage to the occident."
Bolingbroke

I used to do a lot of mountain bike riding in the Flint Hills region of south central Kansas (USA). I would often come across the ruins of houses on the prairie. Though they were only bricks, stone blocks or rotting wood, I would daydream about what it was like to live there; how many Christmases had been celebrated within the walls? How many lives began and ended inside them? Were they lonely, isolated as they were?
