Carmarthen Castle, in Carmarthen, West Wales, serves as a testament to the tumultuous history of the region. First constructed by Walter, Sheriff of Gloucester, the castle was captured and destroyed on several occasions, including in 1137 and 1143, before being rebuilt in stone during the 1190s. In 1405, the castle was captured by Owain Glyndŵr. During the Wars of the Roses, the castle fell to William Herbert. In 1456, Edmund Tudor, father of Henry VII, died imprisoned within Carmarthen Castle after being taken by Yorkist troops.
