Caerphilly Castle

1273
Gilbert de Clare, Duke of Glamorgan, begins to complete his castle at Caerphilly
as part of his struggle with Llywyln Gryffud
and from that point on
WALES IS STUFFED
...
it was a bigger tougher castle than there had ever been in Britain
a few years before the Tower of London as expanded by Edward the First
and both are similarly concentric
...
and from that point on
as long as the English were inside Caerphilly
Wales would always be vulnerable
and has been under English domination ever since
...
...

one castle = 800 years of subjugation
...
OUCH!
