   I’m not sure if I should be channelling the spirit of the English King, Edward I, or the Welsh Prince of Gwynedd, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Since I’m in Conwy, a picturesque town in North Wales (if you’d never heard of it don’t worry, I hadn’t either), I want to be loyal to Wales, but as I’m standing in the ruins of a once-mighty castle built by Edward...

   So what I – I mean King Edward – did after inheriting the English throne in 1272 was to launch three invasions of Wales. To protect his English interests against the rebellious north, he built a colossal ring of castle fortresses – the Iron Ring of Castles that stretches from Flint to Aberystwyth. Conwy Castle was built between 1283 and 1289 during...

   Conwy Castle, with its eight massive towers, impressive battlements and imposing location rises straight up from a rocky base. It’s protected on two sides by the Conwy and Gyffin Rivers. Personally, if I were an attacker I’d be terrified to storm it, which of course was its purpose. The castle was also built at supersonic speed, taking a mere four ...

   Standing in the roofless kings’ chambers in the castle’s Inner Ward, I try to imagine the weathered walls as they were when they were sturdy and new, enlivened with royal furnishings, guards and roaring fireplaces. Adding Edward I to the picture, I put him sitting at a table drinking mead with his wife, Eleanor of Castille, who he married when he w...

   The marriage of Edward I and Eleanor of Castille was an uncommonly close relationship for a political arrangement. Eleanor accompanied Edward on a number of campaigns, even the 8th Crusade. Known for her (some say ruthless) business acumen, she was also a patron of the arts and popularized the use of tapestries and carpets in Britain, a decor featu...

   You won’t find any carpets or fine furniture in the King’s Chambers, and no minstrels are playing. Only a trace of the once magnificent windows remain. A deliciously unsettling combination of ghostly past and contemporary art looms over me, a linear steel sculpture of King Edward’s head. No matter how much you need to use your imagination, these in...

   Another thing that has lasted over the centuries is one of Conwy’s most remarkable features, the thick stone walls that surround the town itself.More than 1.2 km (about .75 miles) long, the Conwy walls come complete with 21 towers and three gateways. If you don’t mind steep steps, heights and loudmouth seagulls, you can do the town wall walk and pr...

   The problem was that only the English could live inside the walls. “It was a grave offence for Welsh people to be caught inside the town walls after hours,” I’m told by a lanky man bent like a hemlock tree who I met while touring around. “They would be executed.” This makes me feel guilty about trying to channel Edward I rather than his Welsh foe, ...
