Statute of Rhuddlan
The Statute of Rhuddlan, issued by Edward I at Rhuddlan Castle in March 1284, set out the government of the lands of Gwynedd and the Principality of Wales after the conquest of 1282–1283. It created shires such as Anglesey, Caernarfon, Merioneth and Flint, introduced English criminal law while keeping some Welsh civil custom, and remained the basis of royal government there until the Laws in Wales Acts of 1535–1542.
