Description

Castell-y-Bere, 2011. Cameron Jones having a photography and history lesson with taid Ray Gunn.
Castell-y-Bere, or Bere Castle was one of the largest and most richly ornamented castles in Wales. It was built by Llewelyn the Great ( Llewelyn ap Iorweth ) in 1221. In it, Dafydd, the brother of Llewelyn, the last of the Welsh Princes, established himself against Edward I. The castle was surrendered to the English King but Dafydd escaped to Snowdon until he was betrayed and went to a cruel death.
