Laura Karlsenthere are over six hundred castles
in Wales
many of them slighted by Cromwell
during the English Civil War
some of them built almost
mathematically arches built
with angles that only allowed
one person to enter at a time
an arrow cutting down the uninvited
or the easy entry where hot oil
enveloped several soldiers
most of these castles were built
by Edward I to subjugate the Welsh
some like Manordeifi for pleasure Geraldus Cambrensis born there
Henry VII
born at Pembroke castle in 1457
