About this Broadcast
Kingdom of Conquest
Historian Sam Willis charts how Edward I turned the castle into an instrument of colonisation. He spent a large amount of money on subduing the Welsh and built fearsome fortresses in Caernarfon, Gwynedd and Beaumaris, which were used to impose England's rule on the country. However, when the king's attention turned to Scotland, his plans didn't go as expected
