Hawarden Castle (medieval) Totally Explained

Everything about Hawarden Castle Medieval totally explained

Hawarden Old Castle is a medieval castle near Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. Its age is indeterminate and may date back to Iron Age fortifications. The original Norman Motte-and-bailey castle was reportedly destroyed and replaced in a short period during the 13th Century.
The castle was an important structure during the Welsh struggle for independence in the 13th century. At Easter 1282, Dafydd ap Gruffudd attacked Hawarden Castle, thereby starting the final conflict with Norman England, in the course of which Welsh independence was lost. King Edward I's sense of outrage was such that he designed a punishment for Dafydd harsher than any previous form of capital punishment. Dafydd was hanged, drawn, and quartered.
After the English Civil War in the 17th Century the castle was destroyed. Its ruins are on the New Hawarden Castle estate and are open to the public on some Sundays, typically the second and fourth Sundays in summertime.
