Aberedw Castle

File:Aberedw.jpg[1]

The remains of the Aberedw castle are located in the small village Aberedw located in historically known Radnorshire. Today Radnorshire is known as Powys, Wales ( located in mid-whales). The Castle was signed to Walter Heckelutel, as a License of the Crenellate, by King Edward I of England on November 24, 1284. This license of crenellate was thought of as a way for central authority to exert power over the lords, although this is not confirmed[2]. It is also suggested however, that the castle, is thought to date back to 1093 when the Normans invaded South Wales[3].

At the time of the construction of Aberedw, castles were built for a certain symbolism. The license of crennallate showed a symbolic power for central authority. This castle also has a different symbolism to the people of Wales. Aberedw is more famously known to be the residence of Llewelyn ap Gruffydd. This man is very well known as the last native prince of Wales. Aberedw was the last retreat Llewelyn made before he was killed and beheaded by Adam Francton, who then had his head sent to the King of England, in 1232 A.D.[4]

The castle was a masonry castle[5], being made primarily of stone and mortar. Its structural attributes included a quadrilateral shape with circular towers. It was surrounded by a moat approximately 10 to 20 meters wide[6]. Today it is a ruin, as it was destroyed by railroad construction in the 19th century. The stones of the castle were used in constructing the track[7].
