Hawarden Castle

13th century · 13th century

Hawarden Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Flintshire, north-east Wales, near the English border. A stone castle was built there in the thirteenth century on an earlier Norman site. On 21 March 1282 Dafydd ap Gruffudd attacked it, starting the Welsh war that ended with the death of his brother Llywelyn and Edward I's conquest of Wales. The estate later belonged to W. E. Gladstone.
