@beyondbritishbeauty: Conwy Castle was built between 1283 and 1287 by Edward I of England. As part of his campaign to conquer and control Wales, forming a key part of the so-called ‘Iron Ring’ of fortresses. It later played roles in conflicts like the Glyndŵr Rising and the English Civil War before falling into ruin and becoming a preserved historic site. #castle #Wales #welsh #medieval #monarchy
