Morlais Castle

Morlais Castle is a 13th century castle located above the Taff Gorge near the town of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. Building of the castle was first begun by Gilbert dr Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester on land claimed by Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford. Warfare broke out between the Earls in 1290 and they were severely admonished and fined by King Edward I of England, who had to march down from North Wales to intervene. The castle was captured by Madog ap Llewelyn in 1294. The castle is believed to have never been fully completed, and the location was too remote and exposed to serve as a residence. The Bucks' engraving of 1741 , however, shows that fragments of the walls then stood high.
