Llanrwst history

---

Llanrwst developed around the wool trade, and for a long time the price of wool for the whole of Britain was set here. The growth of the village in the 13th century was considerably aided by an edict by Edward I of England prohibiting any Welshman from trading within 10 miles (16 km) of the town of Conwy. In 1276, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, seized the town, declaring it the Free Borough of Llanwst independent of the diocese of Llandelwy. A century later, after the monastery moved to Maenan Abbey, the town had its own coat of arms and flag.
