EDWARD I PENNIES - OTHER MINTSReferences - see Edward I home page Photo shows part of the remains of Caernarfon Castle. It was a motte-and-bailey castle from the late 11th century until 1283 when Edward I began to replace it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales, and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. (Wikipedia). Coins below are arranged alphabetically by mint, then by class. Work is currently ongoing to subdivide the coins by mint. |
