Caerphilly Castle: Explore Gilbert de Clare's Concentric Castle Defenses in Caerphilly, Wales
On our first trip Mom and I parked in a lot on the back side of the castle and across the street. On the second trip we parked in a Sainsbury lot across the street from the front. It rained much of the time on the second trip, so those shots look a little different from the others.
Shortly after the Norman conquest of England, animosity arose between the Normans and the Welsh. The Earls of Gloucester were tasked with subduing the region of Glamorgan.

Tonbridge Castle: Explore Gilbert deClare’s 13th Century Gatehouse Tower
Unlike most rebuilt castles in the UK, which focus on the later inhabitants, Tonbridge has been restored to roughly the condition it was when Gilbert de Clare held it in the twelfth century.

Caerphilly Castle - The Biggest Castle in South Wales UK - Full Tour
Caerphilly Castle (Welsh: Castell Caerffili) is a medieval fortification in Caerphilly in South Wales. The castle was constructed by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century as part of his campaign to maintain control of Glamorgan, and saw extensive fighting between Gilbert, his descendants, and the native Welsh rulers. Surrounded by extensive artificial lakes – considered by historian Allen Brown to be "the most elaborate water defences in all Britain" It occupies around 30 acres (12 ha) and is the largest castle in Wales and the second-largest castle in the United Kingdom after Windsor Castle.] It is famous for having introduced concentric castle defences to Britain and for its large gatehouses. Gilbert began work on the castle in 1268 following his occupation of the north of Glamorgan, with...

On our first trip Mom and I parked in a lot on the back side of the castle and across the street. On the second trip we parked in a Sainsbury lot across the street from the front. It rained much of the time on the second trip, so those shots look a little different from the others.
Shortly after the Norman conquest of England, animosity arose between the Normans and the Welsh. The Earls of Gloucester were tasked with subduing the region of Glamorgan. In 1217 the de Clare family acquired the earldom and attempted to conquer all of Glamorgan. Gilbert de Clare began building a castle in the Rhymney Valley in 1268. Gilbert was known as "The Red" and "Red Gilbert" due to the color of his hair. Caerphilly is the first fortification in Britain to use concentric defenses, in this case consisting of rings of walls/fortified dams and artificial lakes. Edward I based some of the castles he built in Wales on this design. Caerphilly is also the second largest castle in Britain.
De Clare’s chief rival was Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, a Welsh prince. Llywelyn attacked Caerphilly Castle several times during construction, even burning it down at one point. The skirmishes got so bad that King Henry III sent two bishops to arbitrate. The bishops took possession of the castle, and promised construction would stop until negotiations were complete. However, de Clare's men retook the castle, which Gilbert claimed to be innocent of, and he continued building.
An uprising in 1294 of Welsh, led by Morgan ap Maredudd resulted in the burning of half the town, but the castle was not taken. Gilbert the Red died the next year. His son, also Gilbert, inherited the castle but died at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. A brief rebellion again resulted in the destruction of the town, but it was put down by King Edward II and the inheritance was settled on Eleanor de Clare who had married Hugh le Despenser. In 1326 Edward’s wife, Isabella of France, overthrew him so he and Hugh le Despenser fled to Caerphilly Castle. The two fled again just before a siege by William la Zouche which lasted several months until the garrison surrendered in March of 1327.
In 1416 the castle passed to Richard de Beauchamp, Earl of Worcester, through his marriage to Isabel le Despenser, then to her second husband, Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. It passed to Richard Neville in 1449. After the building of the residence at Cardiff Castle, Caerphilly was of less importance. It eventually fell into ruin, including the draining of the lakes which probably caused the tower to collapse, and stone was removed for use in other buildings. The 3rd and 4th Marquesses of Bute, both named John Crichton-Stuart, made extensive restoration at Caerphilly and other castles. The statue that appears to be holding up the leaning tower is of the 4th Marquess “saving” the castle. The castle is now owned by the Welsh government and operated by Cadw.
At around 30 acres, Caerphilly Castle is the second largest in Britain. Wooden bridges have replaced the drawbridges, and the portcullises have been removed, but the south and east gatehouses have been restored. The north-west tower has been restored, but we did not see a way in. Most of the exhibitions are in the east gatehouse tower, which is the main entrance, and the Great Hall. The North Bank seems to be a popular spot from which to fish in the North Lake.

Unlike most rebuilt castles in the UK, which focus on the later inhabitants, Tonbridge has been restored to roughly the condition it was when Gilbert de Clare held it in the twelfth century. It is through the prolific de Clare family that we trace our connection to the royal families in most of Europe.
Following the Battle of Hastings, William of Normandy entrusted large areas, called rapes, to his most loyal friends and family members with the expectation that they would build fortifications and protect the newly conquered kingdom from potentially rebellious locals. The area now known as the county of Kent was given to his relative Richard fitzGilbert. To guard the crossing of the Medway River at Tonbridge, fitzGilbert built a motte and bailey castle.
Richard was often called Richard of Tonbridge, but the family took the name de Clare from their land holdings in Suffolk.
By 1088 the de Clares rebelled against King William II Rufus. Rufus took the castle after a relatively short siege, then burned the castle and town. Rufus was killed in the New Forest a few years later, by Gilbert de Clare’s son-in-law Walter Tyrell. By this time the wooden fortress had been replaced by a stone shell keep.
In the mid-twelfth century the Archbishops of Canterbury claimed that the de Clares held the Lowy, the area surrounding Tonbridge, from them and not from the King, Henry II. They sent a messenger to Tonbridge demanding homage. Roger de Clare forced the messenger to eat the papers. Quarrels between the Archbishop and the King continued until the murder of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on the 29th of December 1170.
In 1215 Tonbridge Castle was taken by King John in retaliation for being forced to sign the Magna Carta. After John died and Henry III become King at the age of 9, the castle was restored to Richard de Clare. Richard died 3 years later, then his son Gilbert died in 1230, leaving a 9 year old son (among other younger children). The Archbishop of Canterbury claimed wardship of the young Richard and excommunicated the de Burghs, who had been granted wardship by the King, from Tonbridge Castle. The Archbishop died, and Richard regained control of his estates from the new one.
By the mid 13th century the de Clare family were nearly as powerful as the King of England, and the King granted Richard de Clare license to wall and embattle Tonbridge Castle. It was then that the great Gatehouse Tower was built over a period of 30 years. His son Gilbert the Red Earl lost the castle temporarily in 1261 for his support of Simon de Montfort against Henry III.
Around 1268 Gilbert began building Caerphilly Castle, and was made Guardian of the Realm 2 years later. After Henry’s death the new King Edward I and his Queen Eleanor stayed at Tonbridge following their return from the Holy Land before their coronation. Gilbert had no heirs by his wife Alice, so their marriage dissolved so he can marry Joan, the daughter of King Edward. He surrendered all his lands to the crown, but they were given to Joan and her heirs. Their son Gilbert died at the Battle of Bannockburn, and the de Clare lands were divided amongst his sisters. Tonbridge went to Margaret who married Hugh d’Audley, and then to the Stafford family through their daughter.
The history is sparse from this point until 1520 when Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, was executed for treason. The castle was falling into disrepair by this time, and in 1525 King Henry VII paid for repairs to the roof of the gatehouse. From then it is given to friends of the King. In 1600 the castle was sold into private hands, and by the 1640s was being dismantled and the timbers and stone used for other buildings in Tonbridge. The bridge over the Medway was rebuilt in 1775 using stone from the towers and wall of Tonbridge Castle. Later the remains of the shell keep was pulled down “out of curiosity”.
In 1791, however, a mansion was built onto the side of the gatehouse by Thomas Hooker, which is now used as council offices and the visitor’s center for the castle park. In the 1940s the gatehouse restoration was begun, culminating in it being restored to its original state (minus a few floors and interior walls).

By 1088 the de Clares rebelled against King William II Rufus. Rufus took the castle after a relatively short siege, then burned the castle and town. Rufus was killed in the New Forest a few years later, by Gilbert de Clare’s son-in-law Walter Tyrell. By this time the wooden fortress had been replaced by a stone shell keep.
In the mid-twelfth century the Archbishops of Canterbury claimed that the de Clares held the Lowy, the area surrounding Tonbridge, from them and not from the King, Henry II. They sent a messenger to Tonbridge demanding homage. Roger de Clare forced the messenger to eat the papers. Quarrels between the Archbishop and the King continued until the murder of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on the 29th of December 1170.
In 1215 Tonbridge Castle was taken by King John in retaliation for being forced to sign the Magna Carta. After John died and Henry III become King at the age of 9, the castle was restored to Richard de Clare. Richard died 3 years later, then his son Gilbert died in 1230, leaving a 9 year old son (among other younger children). The Archbishop of Canterbury claimed wardship of the young Richard and excommunicated the de Burghs, who had been granted wardship by the King, from Tonbridge Castle. The Archbishop died, and Richard regained control of his estates from the new one.
By the mid 13th century the de Clare family were nearly as powerful as the King of England, and the King granted Richard de Clare license to wall and embattle Tonbridge Castle. It was then that the great Gatehouse Tower was built over a period of 30 years. His son Gilbert the Red Earl lost the castle temporarily in 1261 for his support of Simon de Montfort against Henry III.
Around 1268 Gilbert began building Caerphilly Castle, and was made Guardian of the Realm 2 years later. After Henry’s death the new King Edward I and his Queen Eleanor stayed at Tonbridge following their return from the Holy Land before their coronation. Gilbert had no heirs by his wife Alice, so their marriage dissolved so he can marry Joan, the daughter of King Edward. He surrendered all his lands to the crown, but they were given to Joan and her heirs. Their son Gilbert died at the Battle of Bannockburn, and the de Clare lands were divided amongst his sisters. Tonbridge went to Margaret who married Hugh d’Audley, and then to the Stafford family through their daughter.
The history is sparse from this point until 1520 when Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, was executed for treason. The castle was falling into disrepair by this time, and in 1525 King Henry VII paid for repairs to the roof of the gatehouse. From then it is given to friends of the King. In 1600 the castle was sold into private hands, and by the 1640s was being dismantled and the timbers and stone used for other buildings in Tonbridge. The bridge over the Medway was rebuilt in 1775 using stone from the towers and wall of Tonbridge Castle. Later the remains of the shell keep was pulled down “out of curiosity”.
In 1791, however, a mansion was built onto the side of the gatehouse by Thomas Hooker, which is now used as council offices and the visitor’s center for the castle park. In the 1940s the gatehouse restoration was begun, culminating in it being restored to its original state (minus a few floors and interior walls).

Caerphilly Castle (Welsh: Castell Caerffili) is a medieval fortification in Caerphilly in South Wales. The castle was constructed by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century as part of his campaign to maintain control of Glamorgan, and saw extensive fighting between Gilbert, his descendants, and the native Welsh rulers. Surrounded by extensive artificial lakes – considered by historian Allen Brown to be "the most elaborate water defences in all Britain" It occupies around 30 acres (12 ha) and is the largest castle in Wales and the second-largest castle in the United Kingdom after Windsor Castle.] It is famous for having introduced concentric castle defences to Britain and for its large gatehouses. Gilbert began work on the castle in 1268 following his occupation of the north of Glamorgan, with the majority of the construction occurring over the next three years at a considerable cost. The project was opposed by Gilbert's Welsh rival Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, leading to the site being burnt in 1270 and taken over by royal officials in 1271. Despite these interruptions, Gilbert successfully completed the castle and took control of the region. The core of Caerphilly Castle, including the castle's luxurious accommodation, was built on what became a central island, surrounding by several artificial lakes, a design Gilbert probably derived from that at Kenilworth. The dams for these lakes were further fortified, and an island to the west provided additional protection. The concentric rings of walls inspired Edward I's castles in North Wales, and proved what historian Norman Pounds has termed "a turning point in the history of the castle in Britain".
