- 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!

Mayor and later colonel John Poyer is my 10th great grandfather! thanks for sharing this history! fascinating to see
Wales has so many incredible castles 😊 fantastic views and tour 😊
Thank you 😀 Yes I agree, Wales has so many fantastic castles packed with history, you are spoilt for choice!
Thanks for this video; it brings back some happy memories for me. BTW William Marshall's effigy can be seen today in Temple Church, London.
Thanks for the info, will check it out when I'm down that neck of the woods!
Been there a few times only live 6 miles away
Oh wow it is an incredible castle and wonderful piece of Welsh history!
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.
Thank you, I have yet to visit Chepstow but great piece of info for when I do 🙂
Fantastic! Incredible to know that it was never breached in its active history. That cave looks huge! Thanks for sharing this wonderful place.
Indeed, when visiting I could certainly see why it has never been breached. Glad you enjoyed our video 🙂
@@castlesandlegends I breached It many times as a child. The local kids spent their summers looking for ways to sneak In without paying, and some of those ways were quite hair-raising.😉
Love wales and always wanted to go pembroke 😀 castles are amazing
Castles certainly are amazing, so much history and incredible architecture! Hope you get to visit Pembroke one day 😀
Wonderful! Enjoyed that tour very much. And of course, to hear about William Marshal, the famous knight
Thank you. Indeed I thoroughly enjoyed researching "Strongbow" and of course exploring the formidable Pembroke Castle.
Awesome Tour! Thanks for sharing with us! Like 👍
New friend! 🤗❤
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed our tour 😊
Interesting history on the castle , I've read about Wm Marshall but never knew he was cursed how sad that was to a great man in not having his name carried through history 😢
Indeed, it is such a shame that his name is not better known
Thank you for the beautiful presentation :) I appreciate you and will continue to support you! greetings from Romania! New friend here!
Thank you so much, I am very happy that you enjoyed our video and joined us exploring the castle!
Wow! Fascinating tour!
Thank you 😊 Fascinating place, I highly recommend if you are ever in that area!
Hope i will visit it next yeah. I just love the history of it. As i am a huge fan of Jasper Tudor and the history during and before the war of the roses. Looking forward!!!
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!
@@castlesandlegends Thank you so much :)
Nice, we are making a video here soon 💚
Look forward to seeing it. What an amazing site Pembroke Castle is, enjoy your visit!
Nice video
Thanks glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
Thanks for your great vedios, that I followed visiting the castles in wales!
My humble suggestion isto say a few words on the castle archiecture itself not only the story
Hope you enjoyed visiting the castles, there are so many incredible castles in Wales. Thank you for your suggestion too 🙂
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.
Thank you, if you do ever get over here I would recommend Pembroke, it is one my favourite castles in Wales. Yes England has had other civil wars as well as what we call the English Civil War, I find the Anarchy quite fascinating.
Hermoso me gustaría que pasen la traducción de la comentarista
I have set the language on the video so hopefully it will now offer subtitles
Life expectancy 31 years. . Wow
Indeed so sad. I wouldn't even still be about in those days 😣
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 :)
Also called natural selection.
