Kidwelly history

---

Kidwelly was established by written records at around 1106 AD by the invading Normans in 1106. The earliest castle on the site was a typical Norman motte and bailey design that was made of earth and timber. The 13th century re-design was commissioned by Edward I Longshanks as a strategic part of his ‘Ring of Steel’ oppression against the Welsh. A field in the neighbouring forest of Kingswood, Maes Gwenllian is known as the location of a battle in 1136.
