What is recorded here

Castell y Bere is a ruined Welsh castle near Llanfihangel-y-pennant in Gwynedd, built by Llywelyn the Great in the 1220s to hold his south-west border and control local people. It stood on a rocky hillock above the Dysynni Valley, with stone towers around a courtyard, then fell during the wars with Edward I after Llywelyn ap Gruffudd’s death in 1282. Madog ap Llywelyn’s revolt in 1294 brought it under siege and fire, and it was never properly rebuilt. Today Cadw keeps the broken walls, where the valley still opens below like a room the castle forgot to lock.
