The year is 1282. King Edward I of England has defeated the last Welsch governing family, Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffydd and his brother Dafydd...their last rebellion leading to their eventual defeat and death. King Edward now plans to annex all of Wales and build castles throughout the country to protect his new land. English soldiers will be garrisoned in the castles, and the towns will be settled by English colonists. King Edward's head architect, Master James St. George, has given you the responsibility of planning and building a castle for King Edward. This castle is to be located on Cardigan Bay on the west side of Wales. Where will you choose to build your castle, and why there? Be prepared to defend your overall building plan.
