Summary
[edit]DescriptionGoodrich Castle - 18928472328.jpg |
English: Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, 21 June 2015. A wooden castle was first built on this site by the Saxon 'Thane' Godric of Mappestone in the 11th Century but nothing survives of this. It stood where the roman road between Caerleon in Wales and Gloucester in England crossed the border at the River Wye. The Norman Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke and Lord Goodrich, probably built the keep in the mid-12th Century. In the 13th Century Richard the Lionheart granted the castle and titles to William Marshall 'The Greatest Knight'. He and his sons expanded and strengthened the castle as did William de Valence who was granted the castle by Henry III at a time of Welsh raids across the border by Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. The towers and walls date from then (c.1280's). In 1405 the castle under Richard Talbot resisted raids by Owain Glyndwr, who claimed to be the rightful Prince of Wales. In the English Civil War both Royalists and Parliamentarians held the castle and eventually the latter destroyed it (1646) with the help of a huge mortar specially built to bombard it - 'Roaring Meg'. Pictured is a view from the top of the keep looking over the Wye Valley (the river can just be glimpsed to the left of the tower), illustrating the commanding position of the castle. |
