Denbighshire Archaeology Service (part of Denbighshire Countryside Service within Denbighshire County Council), had previously determined that evaluation was required in order to identify the potential impact of the development on the archaeological resource and had prepared a brief detailing the works that were required. 1.2 The site is located on the west side of Vale Street, within the medieval town of Denbigh (SJ 0550 6625; Figs 1-2). Although the redevelopment encompasses both 52 and 54 Vale Street (Fig. 1), the only areas available for field evaluation were to the front and rear of No 52.

  • From Footnotes to Narrative
    1 INTRODUCTION LANGUISHING IN THE FOOTNOTES: WOMEN AND WELSH MEDIEVAL HISTORIOGRAPHY The era known as the high Middle Ages, in particular the thirteenth century, was an epochal period for Wales. While the high Middle Ages was a period of cultural transformation in all of western Europe, in Wales it was also a time of great upheaval and complete change, which was to have a greater impact on Welsh society than was experienced by most other medieval societies. In fact, for some, the effects of this upheaval and change in Wales may be described as catastrophic. The thirteenth century has been called the ‘age of the Welsh Princes’. Under the leadership of the rulers of the house of Gwynedd, the Welsh achieved some measure of independence from their English overlords during this century. For a time the native Welsh princes were able to mitigate their characteristic unrelenting internal conflict and factionalism and unite against their Anglo-Norman oppressors.1 Fundamental changes which were to have an overwhelming effect on Wales took place in England during this period. For example, the end of the twelfth and beginning of the thirteenth centuries saw the gradual introduction of the English common law into England, much of which is still in use to this day. The ascension to the English throne in 1272 of Edward I, who unlike his two predecessors was a strong king, was another factor in this upheaval and change which took place in Wales. 1 K.

  • Judgement Under the Law of Wales
    05 Smith SC39 18/1/06 1:26 pm Page 63 STUDIA CELTICA, XXXIX (2005), 63–103 Judgement under the Law of Wales J. BEVERLEY SMITH Aberystwyth Tres diversi iudices sunt in Kambria secundum legem Howel Da: scilicet, iudex curie principalis per servitoriam, id est, swyt, cum rege semper de Dinewr vel Aberffraw; et unus solus iudex kymwd vel cantreff per swyt in qualibet curia de placitis in Gwynet et Powys; et iudex per dignitatem terre in qualibet curia kymwd vel cantref de Deheubarth, scilicet, quisque possessor terre. In its discussion of judges in Wales and the means by which judgements were given in court the text of Bodleian Rawlinson MS C821, Latin D, makes a distinction between three kinds of judges.1 The first was the judge (iudex) of each of the principal courts of Dinefwr and Aberffraw, who judged by virtue of office; second, there were judges (iudices) by virtue of office in the court of law of each commote or cantref in Gwynedd and Powys; and, third, there were judges (iudices) by privilege of land in each court of a commote or cantref in Deheubarth, namely every possessor of land.2 Judgements were distinguished in the same way, namely those of the king’s court, those of a judge by virtue of office in each commote or cantref in Gwynedd or Powys, and those of a judge not by virtue of office but by privilege of land in Deheubarth.3 The judge first identified in these passages, the judge of the court (ynad llys, brawdwr llys or iudex curie), looms large in the legal liter- ature as one of the principal officers of the king’s household, but the functions of his office, which have been examined elsewhere, stand apart from the subject matter of the present work and will not be noticed further.4 This study is concerned rather with the implications of the clear differentiation made in the text of Latin D between two species of judge and two forms of judgement that could be recognized in the courts of the princes’ territories, one associated with the courts of Gwynedd and Powys and the other with those of Deheubarth.

  • Denbighshire - 2014
    Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Historic Settlement Survey – Denbighshire - 2014 Denbigh SJ 0500 6610 105955 Introduction Both castle and walled town were constructed on what has been termed a ‘dramatically steep outcrop’ of Carboniferous limestone known as Caledfryn Hill which rises from the flat base of the broad Vale of Clwyd. A small tributary valley isolates the hill, though higher ground to the west acts as a backdrop. The later town has spread down into the tributary valley although a small bench breaks the otherwise consistent slope from hill-top to valley floor. In a low- lying part of the town, west of the centre, was the Lenten Pool, now infilled. The coast of north Wales lies some 16km away, with the cathedral city of St Asaph a little over 8km to the north and the administrative centre of Ruthin nearly 11km to the south-east. This brief report examines the emergence and development of Denbigh up to the year 1750. For the more recent history of the settlement, it will be necessary to look at other sources of information and in particular at the origins and nature of the buildings within it. The accompanying map is offered only as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand. It is not an immutable boundary line, and will require modification as new discoveries are made. The map does not show those areas or buildings that are statutorily designated, nor does it pick out those sites or features that are specifically mentioned in the text.

The life and rule of Llywelyn, known as Llywelyn the Great, is explored in detail in this thesis. The grandson of Owain Gwynedd, ruler of North Wales from 1137-1170, Llywelyn grew up during the period of turmoil following Owain‘s death. After wresting control of Gwynedd from his rival family members in the latter decade of the 12th century, he proceeded to gain recognition as the foremost representative of Wales on the political stage. Although viewed as a legendary hero in Welsh history, poetry and culture, Llywelyn's route to power is more complex than that. The thesis explores the development of the man from rebel and warlord, to leader and spokesman, to statesman, traces the expansion of his hegemony throughout wales, and discusses the methods he used to gain and maintain power. Particular attention is paid to his use of family, marriage, allies, rivals and the church to achieve his goals.

There is also an interesting carved wooden head. Our investigations have uncovered two possible theories about the carving. 1. The hat/helmet could perhaps represent an early 'kettle hat'. These were used throughout Europe from about the end of the 12 th century and continued in use throughout the medieval period.
