Pembroke Castle History & Tour / Birthplace Of The First Tudor King

Pembroke Castle History & Tour / Birthplace Of The First Tudor King
Pembroke Castle is located in the centre of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire in Wales on a strategic rocky promontory next to the Pembroke River. Pembroke Castle is said to be one of the finest castles not only in Wales but also throughout Britain. It serves as a testament to the opulence and influence of the medieval Earls of Pembroke and is the birthplace of Henry VII, the first Tudor King.
The story of the castle begins in 1093, when during the Norman invasion of Wales a small timber motte-and-bailey fortification was built by Roger de Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. The history of the site upon which the castle sits dates much further back, all the way back to the stone age!

    I agree, Jasper is an intriguing character and the history of that era and before is fascinating. Pembroke Castle is one of my favourites in South Wales, it is well worth visiting, enjoy your visit next year!

    Thank you for a very interesting and informative video tour of Pembroke Castle, never been there but would make a point of it if I ever get the the UK again, I’m in Australia you see. England actually had two civil wars, the first one being the Wars of the Roses.

    Sir Nicholas Kemeys was killed in a battle at Chepstow Castle on the 25th of May 1648. There is a plaque in the Lower Bailey of Chepstow Castle commemorating his death whilst protecting the castle for King Charles I. Some of his descendants live here in Australia.

    Yeah but a big part is because of death as childs and infants. When you live through being an adult you are expected to live a good time longer :)
