Pembroke Castle, Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales Mug

Pembroke Castle, Pembroke Pembrokeshire in Dyfed,Wales is a medieval Grade 1 historic building. In the cafeteria area there are the remains of a Roman wall. In 1189, the castle was acquired by William Marshal, who became Lord Marshal of England. At that time the castle was a fortification made from earth and wood, but Marshall turned it into the impressive Norman castle that we see today. This area of southern Pembrokeshire became known as "Little England Beyond Wales", because the native speaking Welsh were moved north into the hills. Until this day, you will hear very little Welsh spoken south of what has come to be known as the Landsker Line. Henry VII (founder of the Tudor Dynasty) was born in Pembroke Castle. He was the first and only Welsh king of Great Britain!
