Abstract (en)

Examines the Lord Rhys's use of the castle as a means of defining, consolidating and defending his principality, considering this within the context of his wider political objectives. Four castles can positively be identified from contemporary written evidence as either foundations or re-furbishments of the Lord Rhys.
